Overview
An internal Surge Studios product used as a proving ground for launch UX, onboarding flow decisions, and the kind of polish we expect before anything goes live.
Work Done
- Product UI and landing flow design for a clear first-run experience.
- Interaction polish pass across navigation, form states, and empty/loading states.
- Technical foundation for fast iteration, stable releases, and clean future additions.
- Launch-readiness review covering responsiveness, visual consistency, and edge cases.
Standout Decisions
- Built as an internal studio project so we could test our own process under real constraints.
- Treated polish as a dedicated step instead of a last-minute cleanup sweep.
- Documented patterns and handoff notes so improvements transfer into client work.

SaaS Starter
A flexible starter kit for teams who need a serious base quickly: authentication, billing flows, dashboard structure, and production-ready patterns instead of demo-only scaffolding.
Why it matters
A reusable SaaS foundation with auth, billing, and dashboard patterns ready to adapt.
Core dashboard

Overview
A flexible starter kit for teams who need a serious base quickly: authentication, billing flows, dashboard structure, and production-ready patterns instead of demo-only scaffolding.
Work Done
- Baseline auth, team/account structure, and protected app shell patterns.
- Billing and subscription UX states for upgrades, failures, and plan changes.
- Dashboard information architecture with reusable cards, tables, and status blocks.
- Setup conventions for deployment, environment config, and iteration handoff.
Standout Decisions
- Focused on adaptation speed without locking the product into one visual system.
- Included error and fallback states so teams start from a realistic baseline.
- Built the kit to be easy to trim down, not just easy to add onto.
