Where we help
When teams bring in a design engineer
Your developers move with agents. Design is still the slow part.
Design at repo speed
Teams running agentic workflows in development. Design lands as a pull request instead of a Figma file waiting for translation.
Shipping fast
The interface is the product. Generated UI looks generated.
Polish before AI scales
Products where craft is the differentiator. Spacing, type scale, states, and contrast made by hand, then AI scales what is already decided.
Craft
Stories pile up faster than anyone can design them.
Design at story volume
Teams shipping several user stories a day. An agent pipeline builds each one from your components, with review gates before dev.
Story volume
Figma says one thing, production says another.
Design and code in sync
Teams whose Figma and live UI drifted apart. We rebuild the components in code and Storybook, so both say the same thing.
Design driftHow we work
From problem to shipped screen . With a person at every gate
- User feedback and support insights show where it hurts.
- Your analytics, so priorities come from evidence.
- Stakeholder interviews, plus best practices from competitors.
- We propose solutions and agree what to build first.
- Or we work your roadmap and user stories as they are.
- Each story is checked against its requirements and the PRD.
- Page layouts and core components, set up in code and Storybook.
- Your design system, or a new one built from your brand.
- Nothing gets generated until this foundation is in place.
- A rough wireframe checks the logic before anything is styled.
- Claude Code or Cursor agents build screens from your components.
- A critique agent scores each screen before your team reviews it.
- Review rounds repeat until the story passes, then it goes to dev.
- You get a pull request in your conventions, ready to merge.
- After each story we log hours, review rounds and learnings.
Design review
How Other Land reviews AI-generated design
Solves the real problem
We check that each screen answers the user problem we defined, with a new solution, not a reskin of the old one.
Follows design rules
Best practices, your design system and the PRD, from flows and states to terminology. Each comment becomes a new rule.
Design leadership signs off
Automated checks catch most of it. Our design director reviews each screen by eye, and our engineering lead the code.
What you get
Design engineering deliverables
A pull request in your repo, in your conventions, ready to review.
A working interface instead of mockups and a spec to translate.
A design system in code, or a UI kit when speed matters more.
Components in Storybook, with the states your product actually uses.

Why us
Why teams choose Other Land for design engineering
Design lands as code
Your repo, your stack, your conventions. Your developer reviews and merges the PR.
Built with AI, not by AI
AI generates. An AI-native product designer decides what is good enough to keep and what gets rebuilt.
Months of work in a week
With the foundation set, agents build at volume, so a week covers what used to take months.
Fewer retries
Prompts written from the design side land on the first try. Cheaper than five rounds of asking for better.
Product thinking first
We start from your users, data and stakeholders, not just the ticket. Your roadmap is one option.
A studio, not a hire
A design engineer, a design lead, and a product manager. Three people on your product, one price.
Who it's for
From first MVP to enterprise . The process fits your stage and stack
A first version or MVP
Startups get a working product in code from day one, on components that can grow with it.
A scale-up
Growing teams get design at story volume, inside the stack, tools and rituals they already run.
An enterprise product
Large products get design engineers who work within your design system, review gates and release process.

Design engineering questions,
answered
A design engineer is an AI-native product designer who also ships front-end code. The same person decides the layout, the states and the type scale, then builds them in your components and opens the pull request. At Other Land that work runs through an agent pipeline, with a design review on every story before it reaches your developers.
Yes. We work on a branch and open a pull request in your conventions. Your developer reviews and merges. Deploy stays on your side, always.
Your developer reviews the code, the same as any PR from the team. We own the design quality, meaning the interface, the system, the states and the consistency, and every story passes our design review first.
The translation step disappears, and agents build at volume once the foundation is set. No rebuild from mockups, no second pass, and a person still reviews every story.
They can, and many do. The gap is judgment. An Other Land design engineer knows what good looks like before the generation starts, which means fewer prompts, fewer retries, lower token spend, and an interface that doesn't look generated.
We work inside it and keep it clean. If it lives only in Figma, we can turn it into a production-ready system in code. If it doesn't exist, we build one from your brand guidelines.
No. We take the interface layer, so your developers stay on state, data, logic, and infrastructure. Most teams use us to unblock the front end, not to staff it.
Yes, where your team reviews there. On agent-driven projects most of the work lives in code and Storybook, and screens go to Figma so your product team can review them. We match the approach to how your team already builds.
Your stack. Most often React or React Native, with component libraries like ShadCN or React Aria, Storybook, and Claude Code or Cursor with Figma MCP. We build each component in Figma and Storybook at the same time.
