The Problem

Building with AI is easy, but shipping without a designer is costing you growth?

  • Files AI cannot read

    No design system, brand voice, or named tokens Claude can use. Figma is chaos, docs are scattered, so every session starts blind.

  • Half your AI tokens are noise

    Entire files dumped in without filtering what's relevant. Shallow prompts, one-off questions, shallow output.

  • AI looks shipped, feels generic

    Default patterns and flat hierarchy. No craft, no brand edge, trust softens, conversion stays stuck.

  • Sleek product, users still bounce

    The UI looks polished, but flows miss the jobs users are hiring you for. Pretty screens, weak retention.

  • Design lags AI-driven competition

    Rivals ship AI-native UX weekly while your process is stuck in handoffs, reviews, and guesswork.

A repeatable product-led process built tocreate efficiency and clearer product value

This is the stage where the idea is clear in your head but not yet in the product. I take it from zero to a working self-serve flow: site, core journey, and a straight story of what you are selling, so you can put it in front of real users and learn fast.

Main focus: Idea → production: website + core product

Design role: Product discovery (0→1)

Explicitly not now: Scale, retention programs, full design system

This is the stage where people sign up but stall before they get value. I map the full journey, remove the friction that hides what your product does, and apply proven SaaS activation patterns so new users get there on their own.

Main focus: Clarity, trust, speed to value

Design role: Journey architect

Explicitly not now: Full rebrand, admin polish, every edge case

This is the stage where people use the product but revenue still depends on you being in the room. I combine analytics with user research to pin down the aha moment, then design the path from signup to first payment so conversion stops being manual.

Main focus: Monetization + sales-led → self-serve

Design role: Conversion designer

Explicitly not now: Broad retention, new features before payment works

This is the stage where a few things clearly work and everything else is noise. We shape a roadmap from quick wins to bigger bets, then design and ship experiments until retention and MRR actually move.

Main focus: Scale what works

Design role: Retention designer

Explicitly not now: New ICPs, big platform expansion

Stage 1

Discovering the product

0→1 from idea to working self-serve

Product discovery (0→1)
  • v1 onboarding, core flow, monetization
  • Quick first result vs deep-dive path
  • Pricing model and packaging
  • Roadmap shaped by user interviews
  • Positioning against the alternatives

Success metric

Working self-serve path exists; product story is clear internally

Simone Pulvirenti

Hi, I'm Simone

Founding UX/AI Product Designer

Founder of Sssuperdesign. Design + AI for founders, startups, and enterprise teams. Ex-frontend engineer building products that convert, retain, and scale.

Mission

We're in the plastic era of design. AI can generate product UI and code from a prompt in seconds. But industry-leading products still need a foundation of craft, taste, and the right context to convert, retain, and scale.

My goal with Sssuperdesign is to help you build a human-designed product that's good for users and for the business: a system your team can extend using AI, without breaking layout, brand, or clarity.

7+ years of experience designing and building digital products for startups, from zero-to-one to design systems that scale across B2B SaaS, developer tools, and field-service platforms.

I started as a frontend engineer, so I care as much about what ships as what it looks like. I work end-to-end, framing every design decision around measurable outcomes like adoption, conversion, and revenue.

If that sounds like the all-in-one design partner you need, let's chat.
