Your user's entire experience is defined by the screen they touch. Don't let it be an afterthought.

Standard UI/UX Fails on Embedded Systems.

You can't hire a mobile app or web design agency to build an embedded interface. They will fail.

Why? Because embedded systems are a world of harsh constraints. Unlike a smartphone with gigabytes of RAM, your hardware has a strict budget for memory, processing power, and battery life. A generic design approach leads to UIs that are slow, unresponsive, and buggy, ultimately destroying your product's user experience.

Crippling Hardware Constraints

Mobile app designers don't understand memory limits, CPU cycles, or power budgets. They create designs that are impossible to implement, leading to laggy animations, slow screen transitions, and a final product that feels cheap.

High-Stakes User Needs

Your users aren't just "browsing." They are surgeons in an OR, technicians on a factory floor, or drivers in a moving vehicle. A confusing, cluttered, or slow interface isn't just an annoyance—it can lead to costly operational errors or critical safety risks.

The "Design-to-Development" Gap

Your design team (working in Figma) and your engineering team (working in C++) don't speak the same language. This gap is where projects fail. The final product looks and feels nothing like the original design, leading to endless revisions and a massive-budget overruns.


Our End-to-End Embedded UI/UX Services

We are your complete UI/UX solution, a single team that bridges the gap between expert design and high-performance embedded engineering. We own the entire process, from the first sketch to the final line of production code.

1. Embedded UX Research & Strategy

This is the foundation. We don't guess. We research your operators, technicians, and end-users. We map their workflows, identify pain points, and build a UX strategy (including Human Factors Engineering for medical) that makes their job faster, safer, and easier.

2. Embedded UI & Visual Design

Our design team creates modern, intuitive, and brand-aligned User Interfaces. We deliver pixel-perfect, interactive prototypes in tools like Figma, but with one key difference: our designs are created with your hardware's constraints in mind from day one.

3. High-Performance GUI Development

This is our superpower. We turn those pixel-perfect designs into fast, responsive, production-ready code. Our engineers are experts in C, C++, and hardware optimization. We are masters of the top embedded frameworks and libraries, ensuring your UI is beautiful and blazingly fast.

4. Hardware Integration & Optimization

We don't just "hand off" a code-base. We work directly with your hardware team to deploy, test, and optimize the UI on your target device. We fine-tune performance, manage memory, and ensure your UI works flawlessly with the underlying system.


A Design Company That Speaks Hardware.

We are a new breed of agency: an expert embedded UX design company run by engineers. We thrive at the intersection of design and hardware. When you partner with us, you are hiring a team that eliminates project risk and guarantees a world-class product.

Performance by Design

We design for performance from the beginning. We know how to optimize assets, manage memory, and design for low-power modes. The result is a UI that feels fluid and responsive, not slow and laggy, even on cost-effective hardware.

Hardware-Agnostic Expertise

From a high-power NXP i.MX 8 MPU running Embedded Linux to a low-cost STM32 microcontroller (MCU) running FreeRTOS, we've built UIs for it all. We have the expertise to help you select the right technology stack for your performance and budget goals.

We Close the "Figma-to-C++" Gap

We eliminate the gap between design and engineering because we are one team. Our designers and engineers work in lockstep, using a shared process that ensures what you see in the prototype is exactly what you get on the final hardware.

Cross-Industry Innovation

Our deep experience in mission-critical fields—medical, industrial, automotive, and Agritech—allows us to bring best-in-class UI/UX practices and safety-critical principles to your project, giving you a powerful competitive advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the real difference between 'Embedded UI' and 'Mobile UI'?

Constraints. A mobile UI is built for a powerful, standardized platform (iOS/Android) with gigabytes of RAM. An embedded UI is built for custom, resource-constrained hardware (MCUs/MPUs) with unique performance, power, and real-time requirements. We are specialists in the latter.

What is the difference between UI and UX design?

UI (User Interface) is the visual design—the look and feel of the buttons, screens, and layouts. UX (User Experience) is the total experience—how intuitive, efficient, and error-free that interface is to use. We are an embedded UX design company that believes you cannot have a good UI without a solid, research-backed UX foundation.

Do you just provide the designs, or the actual code?

We provide production-ready code. Our core value is our ability to be your end-to-end partner. We can take your project from an initial idea, through the UX/UI design phase, and deliver a fully-developed, optimized GUI application that is ready to be flashed onto your hardware.

Our team already has hardware engineers. How do you work with them?

We act as your dedicated UI/UX specialist team. We integrate seamlessly with your internal engineers. They provide the hardware, drivers, and low-level board support, and we deliver the high-performance UI application layer that runs on top. We speak their language (C++, Linux, RTOS) and make their jobs easier.
