Are you a design agency or an engineering firm?

We're an engineering firm with an embedded design practice, not the other way round. Our designers work inside the same pods as the engineers shipping the code. Design decisions get made with full knowledge of the technical constraints and get implemented without a hand-off wall.

Do you work with an existing design system?

Yes. Most engagements extend a client's existing design system rather than replace it. We audit what's there, close the gaps, and contribute components back into your library so your in-house design team inherits better tooling, not parallel tooling.

How do you handle design-to-development handoff?

Handoff is a workflow, not a moment. Designers commit to Figma variables and tokens that map directly to the code tokens. Engineers pair on the implementation. The reviewed component lands in Storybook before it ships to production. The design file and the code stay in sync because they reference the same source.

Do you do user research?

Yes. Research sits inside engagements rather than as a separate sales line. We run interviews, usability tests, diary studies, and analytics-driven research, and we synthesise findings into decisions the team can act on the next sprint. Research that doesn't change a roadmap is theatre.

Can you take our accessibility audit through to WCAG compliance?

Yes. We audit against WCAG 2.2 AA (or AAA where required), produce a prioritised gap report, and do the remediation work ourselves. Design changes, engineering changes, and content changes together. We also train your team so new features don't regress the baseline.

Can I hire design without hiring engineering?

Yes. Design can be bought as a standalone engagement, though most of our clients eventually bundle it with engineering because that's where we earn our keep. A design-only engagement typically runs one to three designers for a fixed scope.

Design as an
engineering discipline, not decoration.

Product design, design systems, motion, accessibility, and research. Embedded with the engineers shipping the code. Design decisions that survive contact with production.

What this means at Enigmatix

Design that reads production code, not just the Figma file.

Design at Enigmatix sits next to engineering, not in front of it. Our designers read the codebase, attend architecture reviews, and hand off work in terms engineers can implement without a translation layer. Research-led, systems-first, and measured against real usage rather than design-award applause.

We work across product design, design systems, motion, accessibility, and user research. On most engagements a designer sits inside the same pod as the engineers, ships into the same repo, and ends the sprint on the same Friday demo.

Representative work

Shipped under this discipline.

A sample of projects where this capability was load-bearing. We omit client names by default and share them under NDA when you want to dig into a specific engagement.

What we build

Six disciplines under the design umbrella.

A typical engagement combines two or three of these. For example, a design system plus product design plus accessibility. We scope the mix during discovery.

/01

Product design and research.

User interviews, jobs-to-be-done, flow mapping, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and production-ready UI. Shipped inside the same sprints as engineering, not handed over a wall.

/02

Design systems.

Tokens, components, and documentation engineers can actually consume. React, SwiftUI, Compose, or whatever stack you're on. Versioned, tested, and integrated into Storybook so the design and the code don't drift.

/03

Motion and interaction.

Micro-interactions, page transitions, loading states, and complex interactive components. Designed in Figma, prototyped in Framer or Rive, and implemented in CSS, Framer Motion, or Lottie so they feel as good at 60fps on a three-year-old Android as they do on the demo.

/04

Accessibility audits and remediation.

WCAG 2.2 AA audits, manual screen-reader testing, keyboard-navigation sweeps, and the remediation work to close the gaps. Done by a designer and engineer together, not by a plugin.

/05

User research and usability.

Qualitative and quantitative research. Interviews, diary studies, moderated and unmoderated usability tests, analytics instrumentation, and insight synthesis you can act on.

/06

Design ops and tooling.

Figma libraries, variable systems, developer-handoff workflows, and the design-to-code pipeline. The plumbing that lets your design and engineering teams move at the same speed.

Trusted by our clients

What partners
tell us.

Most clients renew for a second engagement. The ones who don't usually hire someone from our team to run the project in-house.

We are a mental health charity and not tech minded. We needed to improve our patient registration system but wanted a company that we can relate to. Hassan took the time to meet with me and patiently went through our process to find a personalised solution for us. Hassan's team did a great job streamlining our process and connected our registration system to our patient management software. Whenever we have a glitch, they resolve this quickly. Cloudini provides a personal and efficient service and we have adopted them to be our IT provider.

Tien Kuei

CEO · Power to Live Foundation

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Cloudini as a premier bespoke software development agency. Our journey with them has been nothing short of exemplary, far exceeding our initial expectations. While many agencies can develop based on strict specifications, Cloudini demonstrated an incredible commitment to our project that was truly unparalleled.

Robert McPherson

Managing Director · RBM Global Ltd

Dragonfly has been working with the team at Cloudini for several years now on building out our web-based platform and APIs. One of their strengths is quickly building out a multi-disciplinary team to work on the development and delivery of features with different technical requirements. Their support has allowed us to accelerate our development work without building an internal team. They have also worked seamlessly with other third parties both during the acquisition of Dragonfly and development of our mobile app. Cloudini has been instrumental in bringing our ideas to life and providing guidance to help us make the best technical decisions. I would recommend getting in touch with them if you're looking for support.

Rebecca Palser

COO · Dragonfly

Hassan and the Cloudini team have been indispensable partners as we rebuilt our client-facing applications into a single platform. As well as being exceptional technically, they consistently invest the time to understand the product and suggest how it can be enhanced and improved.

David Claridge

CEO · Dragonfly

Cloudini did some great work for Sainsbury's, bridging complex interactions between some older less flexible systems, some rigid vendor solutions and the new systems we were building. The software Cloudini developers wrote stood up well, long beyond the interim scope of it needing to work for 12-18m and was still in active use 5 years after its creation to good effect, since it was part of mission critical systems.
