Lodge for design teams

Keep the user problem and the handoff with the Figma file.

Keep the user problem, research, critique, rejected options, final decision, and engineering handoff around the source file in Figma.

The tools already in the job
Figma Linear Slack

Frame the user problem

Keep the brief, evidence, constraints, owner, and measure of success together.

Critique the actual options

Review the source design with product and engineering and record the tradeoff.

Hand off the decision, not just pixels

Keep states, content, behavior, open risks, and implementation notes with the chosen direction.

One Lodge project

Figma keeps the pixels. Lodge keeps the argument.

The source design stays in Figma while the research, critique, rejected options, open questions, and final handoff remain readable to the whole team.

Redesign onboarding without losing the research.

The source file stays in Figma while the team can follow the evidence, options, critique, and final direction.

  1. 01 · Frame

    Name the user problem

    Add the evidence, current flow, constraints, owner, and measure of success.

  2. 02 · Explore

    Put real options on the table

    Designers design while people or AI prepare research, content, and comparisons.

  3. 03 · Hand off

    Explain the chosen direction

    Record the decision and return states, behavior, content, and risks to engineering.

Where people decide

AI can prepare options. Designers choose the direction.

Lodge does not replace the source design, user research, design system, or the judgment of the design team.
