Product & Interface Design — ANTE & Co.
Interfaces built
to be understood.
UX and interface design for software, tools, and products where usability and communication both matter, not just how it looks in a first screenshot.

How We Think About It
Structure first. Style last.
We approach interface design structurally: solving real navigation and communication problems rather than decorating surfaces. A page that looks finished but confuses the person reading it hasn't actually been designed yet, it's just been styled.
What That Looks Like
Four layers, in order.
Understand the content and the people using it
What's actually being communicated, and who needs to follow it, before anything gets drawn.
Structure the information
What exists, how it connects, and what order it needs to appear in. Most usability problems live here, not in the visuals.
Design the interaction
How someone actually moves through it: what they click, what happens next, where they can get stuck.
Apply the visual language
Typography, spacing, colour, and hierarchy, applied last, on top of a structure that already works.
Where You Can See It
A few real design decisions.
Two audiences, one page
Medical Microsystems Laboratory
Researchers checking the lab's standing and prospective collaborators seeing it for the first time both needed the same page to work for them. We structured the information architecture around that split: rigorous enough for experts, clear enough for a first look.

CVG — Computer Vision & Geometry
Researchers, collaborators, and prospective students all needed something different from the same site. The interface had to hold all three without any of them feeling like an afterthought.

Crowther Lab
The design had to carry real scientific weight for policymakers and researchers, without becoming inaccessible to a general audience encountering the work for the first time.

Design rarely stops at the interface.
