UI/UX Design
UI/UX design for products people finish using
Interfaces and design systems shaped by research. Clearer flows, fewer dead ends, and Figma handoff your engineers can build without guessing intent.
How an engagement usually runs
Step 1
Understand the job
Interviews, current-product review, and success metrics for the flows that matter most this quarter.
Step 2
Explore and validate
Flows, wireframes, and clickable prototypes tested with real tasks before visual polish locks in.
Step 3
Systematize the UI
High-fidelity screens plus a component library so new features reuse patterns instead of inventing them.
Step 4
Support the build
Engineering handoff, QA against design, and iteration after launch based on what users actually do.
When product UI needs design that ships
UI/UX design helps when users bounce mid-flow, support hears the same confusion weekly, or engineering invents spacing and patterns on every screen. Design debt shows up as slower releases and a product that feels patched together. A new color palette alone will not fix that. Clearer jobs, clearer states, and patterns your team can reuse will.
Help lands before a build, during a redesign, and when you are productizing an internal tool for paying customers. The goal is clarity: what the user is trying to do, what stands in the way, and what the interface should do about it. This is not a brand-only shop that disappears after a mood board. Designers work next to the people writing the React and Flutter code.
Come when onboarding leaks, checkout stalls, admin tools punish power users, or mobile and web feel like two different products. Analytics or support themes get used when you have them. When you do not, real tasks still come first, not guesswork framed as vision.
What we build
Outputs include user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, interactive prototypes, and design systems with components, tokens, and usage rules. For mobile and web, patterns stay aligned so your SaaS or consumer app does not feel taped together. Empty states, errors, and loading behavior get designed on purpose. If support already has a short list of confusing screens, that list becomes the first backlog.
Critical journeys such as onboarding, checkout, search, and admin bulk actions get redesigned where small clarity gains show up in completion rates. Editorial catalog work like Loom & Luxe and social discovery work like Gusto both need density, hierarchy, and media that still feel fast. Those constraints shape the design instead of pretending every screen is a marketing landing page.
When you want the same partner through build, design continues into implementation reviews so spacing, states, and edge cases survive contact with real APIs and device sizes.
How we deliver
Research starts light but real: stakeholder interviews, analytics review when you have it, and task-based looks at the current product. Prototypes get tested before a full sprint goes into the wrong interaction. Critiques happen in Figma with your PM and tech lead in the loop.
Handoff comes with specs engineers accept. Sprint reviews catch drift early, and designs adjust when technical constraints force a change. At any point you know what is validated, what is still exploratory, and what is ready to build this sprint. Open questions stay listed in the file so they do not hide in Slack threads.
When scope pressure hits, cuts follow user risk, not deleting every empty state. A thinner first release still needs recoverable errors, clear next steps, and components that will not fight the next feature. That is how redesigns stay shippable instead of becoming endless exploration.
Stack and practices
Figma is the source of truth. Libraries get structured for reuse, empty states and errors get documented, and accessibility targets get set with you. Storybook or similar component previews help when engineering wants living examples beside the design file.
Visual direction follows your brand when it exists. When it does not, a restrained system gets defined that can grow without reinventing buttons every quarter. Decorative noise that fights the job gets cut. Density matches the domain: ops tools get denser; browse and discovery get more breathing room. Motion, if used, supports orientation and feedback, not decoration for its own sake.
Industries we support
SaaS dashboards, e-commerce and rental browse flows, hospitality discovery, edtech assessment UI, and logistics ops tools are familiar ground. Each has different density and stakes. Design follows the job, not a generic template reused across every pitch deck. Tired, interrupted, or field-phone users shape the UI more than a trend does.

Why Algo Vortex
Teams pick Algo Vortex when design has to survive contact with engineering reality. Pretty screens that ignore API limits help nobody. Designers here understand product trade-offs and can sit in the same planning meetings as your PM and tech lead.
US, UK, UAE, and other international product teams get overlap hours and async critique. Engagements can be design-only, design-plus-build, staff-augmented product design, or part of a wider dedicated team. Based in Lahore, files, decisions, and handoff stay written. Name the flows that hurt most. Say if the ask is research, a system, or both, and we will propose a scoped first pass.
Technologies we use
Common industries: SaaS, E-commerce, Hospitality, EdTech, Fintech, Healthcare.

Loom & Luxe: rent the dress, skip the full retail bill
Rentals, deposits, and return logistics
Loom & Luxe makes designer dresses reachable for short events. Shoppers browse an editorial catalog, book a rental window, pay a fraction of retail, and get pickup handled when the window closes. Owners and brands need inventory, active rentals, and earnings in one lender dashboard instead of side chats and spreadsheets. The business needed rental commerce that feels like shopping, not a form dump. Deposits, delivery addresses, and returns had to be productized. If those steps stay manual, the marketplace cannot grow past a handful of garments and a very patient ops person. Trust sits at the center. Renters need deposits and holds that feel fair. Lenders need payouts and inventory status they can verify. Both sides had to feel comfortable putting real garments and real event dates into the system, not treating it like a weekend experiment. The storefront had to feel like fashion retail while the backend behaved like a logistics system. Pretty pages without return automation fail. Automation without an editorial catalog fails too. That tension is the real product.

Gusto: find food through friends, not empty star dumps
Maps, feed, and restaurant profiles
Gusto helps people find places worth eating through maps, friends, and dish photos, without another generic ratings wall. Star averages hide whether a place fits your crowd. Discovery should be shaped by taste and people you follow, with a map you can browse and photos that show the plate. That means a social loop that still feels fast on mobile: posts, reviews, notifications, and profiles that stay useful when you are already standing on a sidewalk deciding where to walk next. Web sits alongside for browsing, but the core experience is built for phones in the wild. Hospitality discovery fails when every place looks the same on a star list. Gusto bets on social proof you can inspect: who posted, what the plate looked like, and where it sits on the map. The product should feel useful while you are already outside, not only when you are planning from a desk. Friends and photos are the ranking signal the product wants to earn. Maps provide place and distance. Together they answer "where should we eat" with more than a cold average score.
