↝ Prototype flow · 4 steps

Design first, then build, then hand over clean.

▶ Flow start
01

Scope

A design-first, phased proposal with clear milestones. You know the plan and the price before anything starts.

02

Design the system

Tokens, components and screens — the whole system, delivered with a handoff doc so nothing is left to interpretation.

03

Build & ship

A small, coordinated team builds to the system — Flutter, FlutterFlow, Framer, WordPress — and takes it live.

04

Hand over clean

Documented, developer-ready and yours. The system outlives the engagement.

Range you can count.

Behind the studio

I'm Ali Awais. I started freelancing in 2024 — my first Upwork order was $10. Today DesignSensei is a small team of designers and developers building apps, SaaS products and websites for founders in the US, Europe and the Middle East. I handle strategy and communication, so you always talk to the person responsible for your project.

Ali Hassan is our co-founder and design lead. He leads the design team and signs off every screen before it ships.
