SaaS Product Design Services for products that outgrew their original design
SaaS products don't break. They accumulate – a feature here, a workaround there, a flow untouched since launch. The product grew and the design didn't, so the team is building on something made for a different product and a different user.
Tanya Donska designs for the product it actually became – the roles, the edge cases, the flows that need redesigning before the next feature makes everything worse. Senior, and in your Figma before the next sprint.
Got it.

Expertise
The three situations that bring SaaS teams here, and what Tanya does in each.
/ 001
Users don't get past signup
The onboarding works. Users still don't get it.
The onboarding was designed by people who already understand the product. Tanya designs it for the person who has never seen it – the flows, the empty states, the moments a stranger decides whether to keep going.
/ 002
Users cancel at month three
Nothing broke. Nobody remembers why they're paying.
The value is there, it's just not visible often enough or at the right moment. Tanya designs the dashboards that show progress and the moments that surface value before renewal – so occasional users become the ones who'd notice if it was gone.
What you get: A product that justifies itself without a check-in call from sales.
/ 003
New user meets power user
Built for the person who already knows it – used by one who doesn't yet.
Too much guidance and the expert feels patronised; too little and the new user never gets it. Tanya designs for both at once – guidance that doesn't condescend, shortcuts that don't clutter, an interface that gets out of the way on day three hundred without abandoning anyone on day one.
What you get: A product that works for the user who just signed up and the one who hasn't looked at the docs since 2023.
How DNSK.WORK is different
Most design agencies run the same playbook. Here's what DNSK.WORK doesn't do.
DNSK.WORK – a UI/UX design agency without the agency part.
Selected SaaS Product Design Work
Choosing a SaaS product design agency is easier when you can see what actually shipped. Real products, the real problem, and what changed after.
From the American Dental Association to IQVIA: SaaS products where failing design isn't a bad quarter, it's a headline.
Research Staff Portal for IQVIA
Prometheus Research (now IQVIA) partnered with us to design their Research Staff Portal
DERE Portal for The American Dental Association
Launching DERE, the first national platform built to improve patient outcomes through smarter insight
The ASH Research Collaborative
ASH RC is a nonprofit accelerating research and care for blood diseases
ResearchHub
ResearchHub is a platform built to change how science is shared – faster, more open, and built around real collaboration.
Got it.

They said it better
Most clients find DNSK.WORK through someone who's already worked with Tanya. That's not an accident. The kind of work that actually gets fixed doesn't need much selling.
Tetiana was fantastic to work with. She embodies an exceptional balance of creative ingenuity and highly efficient in producing quality designs. Tetiana was thoughtful and methodical in her approach, leveraging her broad experience to solve crucial UX problems. At the end of our project, Tetiana delivered a clean, crisp and simple design for a relatively complex product. I would definitely engage her services again.
Aziz Ayman
Founder & CEO, FLUX
DNSK listened to our objectives and worked with us to create a visual aesthetic that from the ground up that worked for our company. She was receptive to feedback and helped guide us to solutions that worked. We are so happy with the final website and brand identity and look forward to working with her again!
Stacy French
VP Digital, Economic Nonprofit
They've been a valuable contributor to our company and have done excellent designs. They have some of the fastest 0 to 1 designers we've worked with, and everything we get back from them is high quality. They've delivered us 5-10 app/website designs over the past few years that we've shipped & implemented. They also help us iterate on the designs and make our products better.
Patrick Lu
Founder, Quant Five
Tetiana has an incredible eye for design and brand definition. She took the very basics of our vision for Thespie and crafted something that we feel is trustworthy and transparent, yet vibrant and appealing to a broad range of users. She's been a great partner in developing our UI as well, and streamlining our pages and interactions so they're clear and intuitive for users. Highly recommend her skillset and the collaborative ethos/sensibility she brings to her work!
Tyler Stoops
Chief Executive, The Grange Festival
Tetiana worked with us on a mobile app UI design project, and she did an incredible job. We provided rough mockups of the screens we wanted to design, and Tetiana turned those ideas into beautiful, professional designs that truly impressed our team and all of our fans. We can't wait to build our mobile app using Tetiana's designs! We would definitely work with Tetiana again and strongly recommend her for design projects.

Engagement models
We know what's wrong. We need it fixed.
Tanya scopes it, designs it, and hands over dev-ready Figma or clean code – full specs, async support through the build. Defined scope, defined output, no surprises.
We know something's wrong. We don't know what.
Tanya gets into the product, finds what's broken, and fixes it into dev-ready Figma – the kind that ships without a three-hour handoff call.
We need senior design. We're not ready to hire.
Tanya joins the team – in the sprints, in the Figma, in the decisions – and runs the design the way a senior hire would. Without the onboarding, the equity conversation, or the notice period.

What is SaaS product design?
What is SaaS product design?
Designing software products that people pay for every month and can cancel at any time. That constraint changes everything – the onboarding has to work, the value has to be obvious, the interface has to serve both the new user and the one who's been there two years. It's a specific discipline within Digital Product Design. Tanya Donska has been doing this specifically for ten years. DNSK.WORK exists because of it.
/ 02
What does a SaaS product design agency actually do?
What does a SaaS product design agency actually do?
The good ones get inside the product, find what's breaking the metrics, and fix it. The rest run discovery phases and hand over a deck. Tanya Donska built DNSK.WORK to be the first kind – embedded in your product, senior throughout, focused on the flows that are actually costing you activations and renewals. That's what SaaS Product Design at DNSK.WORK looks like in practice.
/ 03
What is SaaS product UI/UX design?
What is SaaS product UI/UX design?
The full stack – flows, interface, interactions, and the experience that connects them. In SaaS, every UI/UX decision has a direct line to revenue. A confusing onboarding shows up in trial conversion. A dashboard that doesn't surface value shows up in month three churn. Tanya Donska has spent ten years making those connections. That's what UI/UX Design Services at DNSK.WORK is built around.
/ 04
What is SaaS product experience design?
What is SaaS product experience design?
How users experience the product over time – not just the screens, but the arc from first login to daily habit. Most SaaS products design the screens well enough. The experience connecting them is where users get lost – and where UX Design Services at DNSK.WORK spends most of its time.
/ 05
How do you design a SaaS product properly?
How do you design a SaaS product properly?
Start with where users drop off, not where the product starts. SaaS products are usually built from the inside out – feature by feature, sprint by sprint. Users experience them from the outside in. The two perspectives rarely match until someone maps them properly. That's the first thing Tanya Donska does – and it's the same thinking behind SaaS Web Design at DNSK.WORK.
/ 06
How do you design a SaaS product for a startup?
How do you design a SaaS product for a startup?
Same principles, less time. Get users to value fast, surface that value clearly, build the flows to change as the product does. DNSK.WORK has worked with early-stage products where the brief changes every three weeks – that's what Startup Web Design at DNSK.WORK is built for.
/ 07
What does SaaS dashboard design involve?
What does SaaS dashboard design involve?
SaaS dashboard design is the part most teams treat as a display problem. It is not. The dashboard is where users decide whether the product is working for them. What data to show, in what hierarchy, at what moment – those are retention decisions disguised as layout decisions. Tanya designs SaaS dashboards that surface value before the user has to look for it: the metric that tells them the product is doing its job, the moment that reminds them why they are paying, the progress indicator that shows what has changed since last week. Done right, the dashboard is the strongest retention tool in the product.
/ 08
Do you handle SaaS landing page design?
Do you handle SaaS landing page design?
Yes – and SaaS landing page design is different from general web design in one specific way: the visitor already knows what the product category is. They are evaluating you against alternatives, not trying to understand what software does. That changes everything about what the page needs to do. The positioning needs to be specific enough to exclude the wrong buyers and compelling enough to keep the right ones. Tanya designs SaaS landing pages that speak to the person who has already seen three competitors and is looking for a reason to commit.

How much do SaaS design services cost?
How much do SaaS design services cost?
Three models. The Diagnosis Sprint is $2,250 – three days in the product, a prioritised list of what is broken and why it is causing churn or drop-off, with dev-ready Figma for the critical fixes. Fixed scope SaaS design services run at $100 per hour, typically $8,000–$25,000 depending on scope. The embedded retainer is $6,500 per month, pause or cancel with 30 days' notice – right when the product is moving fast and needs senior design judgment in every sprint. Most clients start with the Diagnosis Sprint before deciding on more.
