Narrated by Vivi, our AI voice
We bring strategic product thinking together with modern AI and craft-level design — so small teams can build things that feel like they came from a much bigger one.
Turn a rough idea into a clear direction — positioning, roadmap, and the vision you can rally a team and customers around.
Find where AI creates real value for your business and customers, then design how it actually fits into the product.
Design intuitive, on-brand experiences that people understand instantly and actually want to use.
Move fast with clickable prototypes and production-ready design so you can test ideas with real users early.
Go from concept to a working product — the same path we took HeyVivi from a sketch to a live AI app.
Embed experienced product leadership to guide discovery, workshops, prioritization, and execution as you grow.
Every engagement is different, but the way we work stays consistent — collaborative, fast, and grounded in real customer value.
We dig into your business, customers, and goals — then pressure-test where AI and design can create the most value.
We shape the vision into concrete experiences: flows, prototypes, and a product direction you can see and feel.
We turn designs into a working product — bringing in modern AI and engineering to ship something real.
We stay in your corner as a product partner, helping you learn from users, prioritize, and keep momentum.
A magical children's bedtime storytelling app — narrated by an AI voice named Vivi, and illustrated with AI in a warm, hand-painted watercolor style. We took it from a single idea to a living product.

Victoria & Atlas
Bedtime adventures for ages 4–9
Victoria and her emerald dragon, Atlas, take children on bedtime journeys about courage, kindness, and wonder. We shaped the product vision, brand, and full experience — then used AI as a creative partner to bring it to life: Vivi narrates every story aloud, and each scene is illustrated with AI in a consistent painterly style.
The reading experience
Every control we shipped — hands-free narration, ambient sound, night mode, and adjustable text — designed so a child can listen along while a parent reads.

A few scenes from the storyverse
A look at recent work — a shipped booking site for a local barbershop, and the scheduling platform we're building to power shops like it.
Live siteOak & Steel Barbershop
Leander, TX
A modern brand and booking website for an independent barbershop. We designed the identity and full site, then built online booking so clients can reserve a chair in seconds and skip the wait.
Barber booking platform
Building now
Working with barbershops like Oak & Steel revealed a bigger opportunity: a dedicated booking platform built for barbers — multi-barber schedules, deposits and payments, reminders, and a booking flow clients actually enjoy.
Every engagement is scoped to your goals, so we price around outcomes rather than hours. Here's a sense of how partnerships usually take shape.

HeyVivi is a small AI and product design studio. With more than 20 years designing enterprise software, AI products, restaurant technology, and SaaS platforms, we've learned that great products come from clear thinking — not big teams.
We partner closely with founders and small businesses to shape product vision, design experiences people love, and turn AI from a buzzword into something real and useful for their customers.
HeyVivi — the AI product we designed and shipped — is how we prove it. We don't just hand over slides; we build things that work.
Our mission is simple: give the businesses building what's next the tools, vision, and confidence to bring bold ideas to life.
Tell us a little about your idea and we'll set up a short call to explore how AI and design could bring it to life.
