Pragmatic UI/UXdesign agency for SaaS
We help SaaS teams turn clunky MVPs and dev-designed tools into clean, usable products — with a dedicated designer on your side, starting tomorrow and moving fast.
You have a sophisticated product and a confusing design
Your product was designed by engineers — a solid backend, packed with features, but the interface is a mess. Nothing’s clear. Users can’t find their way around. They get confused, frustrated, then leave before they ever see the value.
Let us gently take over your UI/UX and turn it into something very intuitive, so your product finally delivers on its full potential.
Hunting for UX designer takes months of interviews and portfolio reviews
You needed design help weeks ago. But you're still buried resumes and portfolios, hoping someone actually knows SaaS. You try freelancers — they disappear. You try hiring — it drags for months. Meanwhile, your devs are blocked, and designs aren’t moving.
Let us drop in immediately with a senior designer who’s done this before — no onboarding, no hand-holding, just real work from day one.
You have a very aggressive timeline. You need MVP asap
You don’t want a long research phase. You want screens — fast. The sooner you put it in front of users, the sooner you know if it works. We take a pragmatic approach: using proven UX patterns to speed up design, and component libraries like Ant Design or Tailwind to make handoff to developers instant. You get an MVP that’s usable, testable, and ready to build on.

Eleken is a tailored design partner for SaaS startups
Freelancers bail. Agencies overprice. In-house takes forever to hire. We keep what works from all of them, and cut what doesn’t.
Outsourcing vendors' one-size-fits-all processes don't fit SaaS startups.
You get a dedicated designer that integrates into your team like in-house specialist
Freelance designers are flexible, but may not always be reliable.
The designer communicates directly with your team and works exclusively on your project
Design agencies lack the transparency that in-house designers offer.
You always know who’s working, what they’re doing, and how much time it takes — no middlemen, no surprises.
In-house designers lack the team expertise that design agencies have.
You get SaaS-focused designers with system-level thinking, guided by senior design leads.
Here’s what we do behind the scenes
You get a trained designer who meets our standards, not someone we just found last week.
Source top 1% designers
We vet for design skills, fluent English, critical thinking, and clear communication.
Train every designer for 3 months
They go through an intense bootcamp to learn our UX standards, practices, and design process.
Back them with senior oversight
Each designer works independently but never alone — their work is reviewed by a design lead and peers.
So that your designer can just fit in, pick things up fast, and get them done

Structure is key, but good UI matters
Design is a process, not an event
We are not for everyone
If you are not SaaS — don’t apply.- If you want us to design a logo, landing page or banner — don’t apply.
- If you have no time to communicate with a designer — don’t apply.
- If your budget for a design project is under 10K — don’t apply.
- If you expect your app to be magically designed overnight — don’t apply.
When we’re the best fit
If you find yourself in one of the situations described below, our service is exactly what you need.
The right designers are hard to find
You don't have the right design talent with expertise in creating SaaS, and it's not easy to find candidates with relevant skill sets and the right attitude.
Experienced SaaS designers
We have 40+ UI/UX designers with SaaS design expertise on the team, so we can jump into the project whenever you need us. Plus, we provide a 3-day FREE trial to let you see us in action before signing the contract.
Deadlines are burning
You've underestimated the amount of work that goes into your project, and now you're behind schedule. You want to find designers who can help you out, but posting a job and interviewing candidates is taking up too much of your time.
Scale without hiring
We can provide as many designers as you need to complete your project and not add a single employee to your payroll. We'll work with you throughout the process until you are satisfied with the final product, on schedule.
There's too much on your plate
You've built your SaaS business up quite a bit over the last few years, and you've got more than enough customers to keep your team busy. Now you're ready to develop a new product. But how will you keep your current customers happy?
Extra hands
Eleken can provide a remote team to help you implement new features, support the design system you've started to create, or redesign your products while you focus on other priorities.
- If you're on the US East Coast, for instance, you're 7 hours behind us. We can catch up and have meetings until your noon.
- Then, while you're off, we're working away, and by the time you're up the next day, you'll see we've made some magic happen overnight.
- Plus, we often send you updates through Loom videos, so you can check them out whenever it's convenient for you.
