Building a startup MVP with AI-assisted design and code

TELATRIS

Telatris is an early-stage SaaS startup serving the IT services market. As founding designer, I shaped the product vision, designed the core UX flows, coded the functional front end using v0, and delivered a lightweight brand system — all after hours alongside a full-time role.

Building a startup MVP with AI-assisted design and code
Platform UI designed for architecture and scale — coded with production-ready components.

Selected Work

Every design decision — from component architecture to brand — was made with handoff and scale in mind. The front end was built to be inspected, not just presented — components structured from the design system, mock data wired in.

1

Design System

A token-based component library — colors, typography, and UI patterns — coded and pushed to the engineering repo for direct adoption.

Design system components and UI library
A full-coverage component library built in v0 — coded with design specifications built in.

Brand System

A lightweight brand package designed to give the startup credibility from day one — intelligent, structured, and approachable across product and investor contexts.

Outcomes

Designed, coded, and shipped. In six months, after hours, I delivered a coded front-end platform built with v0 — real components from the design system, ready for the backend to plug into. Tables, alerts, toasts, and more — each with brief usage guidelines for engineering adoption. The design system and brand assets were also completed, giving the founding team everything needed to move into development and investor conversations.
