> Product redesign for Series A–B B2B SaaS in fintech, healthtech and AI: audit, new UX for the flows that move your metric, a design system, handoff.

## Product Redesign Without Breaking What Already Works

New UX for the flows that move your metric, a design system, and a rollout plan for the users you already have.

## What you get in 6 to 10 weeks

One team from the audit to the handoff, scoped to the flows that move your metric rather than to the whole app.

- **The audit that scopes it** - A 6-Layer UX Audit with Impact Tiers across the product, read against your analytics and your support queue. One ranked list, inside a week.
- **Redesigned core flows** - Navigation, hierarchy, the screens people use every day, and the edge cases the current product never handled. Scoped to the screens that change the number.
- **A design system your team keeps using** - Tokens, a Figma component library, and the coded set in your framework where the engagement includes the build. We name which of the two in the quote.
- **Trust states for AI features** - Uncertainty, corrections, permissions, audit trail, escalation and disclosure, designed with our AI Interface Framework. This is where most AI features lose their users.
- **A rollout plan** - How the change ships, what gets staged, what gets communicated, and what to watch in the first two weeks. A redesign nobody adopts is a rewrite with better screens.
- **Handoff your engineers accept** - Developer-ready files, states, responsive notes and component logic, plus a walkthrough with the team that builds it. Followed by thirty days of questions answered.

## Who this is for

- Series A–B B2B SaaS with design debt
- Engineering-led, 0–2 designers in-house
- Moving upmarket or into enterprise demos
- Fintech, healthtech or AI

## Six steps, one team

From the audit that scopes the work to the handoff your engineers accept. Same people throughout.

1. **Audit and priorities** — We run the 6-Layer UX Audit across the product, read your analytics and your support queue, and interview the people who own the metric. What comes out is ranked by what each problem costs you.
2. **Redesign strategy** — We agree the scope in writing: which flows change, which stay, in what order, and how your existing users move across. This is where a redesign stops being “the whole app” and becomes a project you can fund and defend.
3. **Information architecture** — We restructure navigation, hierarchy and naming so the product stops fighting the model your users already carry in their heads. Your engineers are in the room, because IA decisions are architecture decisions.
4. **Flows and wireframes** — We solve the structure of every screen in scope before any visual decisions are made. Edge cases, empty and error states, and the moments where people currently get stuck are designed here rather than discovered in QA.
5. **UI and design system** — High-fidelity UI built on tokens and components rather than one-off screens, so what we hand over stays consistent when your team ships the next feature. If the product has AI features, this is where their trust states get designed.
6. **Handoff and rollout** — We hand over to your engineers with specs they can build from, and a plan for shipping the change to people who know the old product. Then we stay reachable while it goes out.

## Why teams redesign with us

A redesign is risky precisely because the users are already there. The process is built around that.

- **Respect for what already works** — We do not redesign for the sake of it. The audit names the parts that are working, and those survive the project unchanged.
- **Priorities come from data** — Analytics, support tickets, session recordings and heuristic analysis decide the order of work.
- **Existing users are designed for** — Every redesign has people who learned the old product. We scope migration, staging and communication with everything else, before a screen is drawn.
- **Your team ships on the same system** — You get the token file and the component library, in Figma and in code where the scope covers it, so the product stays consistent after we leave and when AI tooling writes the next screen.
- **Tied to a metric** — Activation, trial-to-paid, retention or time on task. We agree the number in week one and design against it.
- **Built for regulated products** — Fintech and healthtech flows carry KYC, HIPAA, audit trails and disclosure requirements. We have shipped inside them, on products whose companies went on to raise $200M+.

## FAQ

**What’s included in product redesign?**

Product redesign includes: current state analysis, redesign strategy, updated information architecture, wireframes, high-fidelity UI design, design system updates, rollout recommendations, and developer handoff. Scope depends on product complexity.

**How long does product redesign take?**

Most product redesigns take 6 to 10 weeks, scoped to the flows that move the metric rather than the whole app. A focused redesign of one or two flows is faster. Complex platforms with many user types take longer, and we say so in the quote.

**Should we do a UX audit before redesign?**

Yes, and the cheapest way to get one is a Trial Week on the flow that hurts most: you get the audit of that flow, a redesigned version of it, and a written recommendation on whether a full redesign is justified. A standalone UX audit is also available when you want the diagnosis without the redesign.

**How is this different from UI/UX design?**

UI/UX design can be for new or existing products. Product redesign is specifically for transforming existing products, with legacy constraints, existing users, and the need to preserve what works while fixing what doesn’t.

**Should we redesign or rebuild?**

Redesign when the product does the right things badly: the flows exist, people complete them, and the cost is confusion, support load or drop-off. Rebuild when the model underneath is wrong. Wrong objects, wrong permissions, wrong data. The week-one audit tells you which one you are looking at, and it is a cheaper way to find out than starting either.

**Is redesigning an existing product harder than designing from scratch?**

Yes, and that is the whole job. A new product has no users to disappoint, no features that grew without a system, and no numbers that can drop. A redesign has all three, so the work is as much about deciding what to leave alone as what to change. The audit in week one names the parts that are working, and those survive the project.

**Will redesign break our existing product?**

We plan for continuity. Redesign strategy includes migration recommendations: phased rollouts, user communication, backwards compatibility considerations. The goal is improvement without disruption.

**Can you redesign just part of the product?**

Yes. Many clients start with the highest-impact areas (onboarding, checkout, the core workflow) and expand later. Focused redesigns ship faster and reduce risk.

**Do you work with our development team?**

Yes. We hand off complete specs and remain available during implementation for questions and reviews. We can also coordinate with your developers throughout the project.

**What if our brand is also outdated?**

Redesign and rebrand often go together. We can align product redesign with new or updated brand identity. See our Branding service for full brand work.

**How do you handle existing users?**

Existing users are central to our process. We analyze what they’re used to, plan for smooth transitions, and recommend communication strategies. Radical changes get phased rollouts.

**How much does product redesign cost?**

It is a fixed-scope quote, agreed after the intro call, based on the number of flows that move your metric rather than the number of screens in the app. If you want to see how we work before committing, start with a Trial Week; its fee is credited toward the redesign.

**Our product has AI features. Is that part of the redesign?**

Yes. AI features fail on the states around the happy path: how uncertainty is shown, how the user corrects the model, what permissions apply, what is logged, what happens on failure and what regulation requires you to disclose. We design those with our AI Interface Framework as part of the redesign. If the feature itself is still an open question, the AI Feature Decision Sprint answers that first.
