UI/UX design for startups

Turn your idea into a product people use and developers can build.

Hi, I’m Varun. I plan, document and design your product the right way from day one. Your developers build it right the first time, and your MVP grows without a redesign.

The problem

You have the idea. This is where
most startups go wrong.

AI made building fast. It didn’t make planning easy. Here’s what I see every week.

1. No plan on paper

Your idea lives in your head and a few Notion pages. Your developer fills the gaps with guesses. You pay for those guesses twice.

2. An MVP that can't grow.

The first version works for 10 users. Then you add roles, billing and a dashboard, and the whole thing needs a redesign.

3. Pretty screens nobody can build.

You get a stunning Dribbble shot. Your devs get no states, no specs and no rules. So the live product looks nothing like the design.

What changes for you

What you get when your product is
planned right.

If users can’t use it, it doesn’t matter how good it looks.

Your users get it.

I map every task your users need to do before I design a single screen. So people can use your product without a tutorial.

01

Your devs stop guessing.

Every screen, state and rule is written down. Fewer questions, fewer rebuilds, smaller dev bills.

02

You ship faster.

Clear docs and ready files mean your team, or an AI tool like Cursor, Claude Code or Lovable, starts building on day one.

03

Your MVP grows with you.

I plan version 2 and 3 before designing version 1, so new features never mean starting over.

04

The process

From idea to dev-ready in 6 steps

The same process behind every product I’ve designed. You follow every step on your own private board. No guesswork, no surprises.

Understand.

We get on a free 20-minute call. I learn your idea, your users and your goals, and ask the hard questions early. Then I tell you honestly which plan fits.

01

Get your private board.

After the call, I set up your private board with your proposal on it. Once we start, every document, file and stage lives there, and you can message me any time.

02

Lock the structure.

I write your master document first. Then I map the information architecture, the screen architecture and every user flow before any design starts.

03

Set the system.

Art direction, design system choice and wireframes you can open in your browser. Once you approve them, I move them into Figma with a proper component structure.

04

Design.

High-fidelity screens in Figma, on a design system built for your product, not a generic kit. On Scale, it's enterprise grade.

05

Hand off.

Figma source file, developer docs, HTML or Tailwind files and a workflow guide. Everything your team needs to start building it right the same day.

06

Start with a free call

Tell me your idea. I'll show you the clear next steps, even if we don't work together.

A plan for every stage

Pick the stage you're at.

One fixed price per plan. 50% to start, 50% before delivery. No hourly billing.

Hi, I'm Varun Dade

Senior product designer and founder of Beunique

For 8+ years, I’ve worked directly with founders, teams and engineers on 40+ products across AI, SaaS, fintech, healthcare, real estate and government.

15+ of them are live today. A few I’m proud of: the MVP a YC-backed startup raised $2.8M on, a coaching platform behind $90M+ in yearly revenue, a management platform making $50M to $100M a year, and the official sailing permit app of Venezuela’s maritime authority.

Here’s what I’ve learned. Great products aren’t the prettiest ones. They’re the ones users understand and developers can build. That’s the only kind I design.

When you work with Beunique, you work with me. I lead every project and review every screen before it reaches you.

I’m building my own products too, so I know what it’s like on your side of the table. I’ve taken on a challenge to build 100 products before I turn 40, and I’m planning to share every win and failure in public. Follow along on varundade.com, LinkedIn, and X.

Cheers, Varun 🙂

Frequently
asked questions

Questions founders ask me

01

How is Beunique different from other design agencies?

I design for use, not for show. Every project starts with documents and user flows, so the product works for real users and your developers can build it as designed. It will look clean and modern too, but usability comes first. And you work with me directly, not a junior team.

02

Which plan is right for me?

Pick Blueprint if you only have an idea. Pick Launch if you want to test your MVP in the market fast. Pick Scale if you want an enterprise-grade design system and Tailwind code from day one.

03

How much does MVP design cost?

Blueprint costs $999, Launch $2,999 and Scale $5,999. Each is one fixed price for one product, with no hourly billing and no hidden costs. The price covers everything listed in the plan, from the first document to the final files.

04

How long does it take?

Blueprint usually takes 2 week, Launch 4 weeks and Scale 6 weeks. Bigger or more complex products take longer, but we try our best to get things done ASAP.

05

What happens after I book a call?

We talk for 20 minutes about your idea. After the call, you get a private board with your proposal: what’s included, any add-ons, the price and the start date. Work starts once you approve it and pay the first 50%.

06

How do payments work?

You get an invoice from Beunique Labs Pvt. Ltd. You pay 50% to start and 50% before final delivery, by bank transfer in USD. You review the finished work before the second payment, so you always know what you’re paying for. Clients outside India pay no GST. Indian clients pay 18% GST on top.

07

How do I track progress and give feedback?

You get a private project board. Every document, file and stage is there, so you always know what’s done and what’s next. You can leave feedback and message me directly on the board. I also post a progress update regularly.

08

Is there a limit on screens?

No. I don’t count screens. Each plan covers one product, however many screens it needs. If you’re building two separate products, like a customer app and a separate vendor app, that’s two plans. We confirm the scope on the free call before you pay anything.

09

Who owns the designs and files?

You do. Once the final payment clears, every document, design and file is yours. Any designer or developer can pick it up from there.

10

What's your refund policy?

The first payment isn’t refundable once work starts. If we stop early, you keep everything finished so far. Full details are in the Refund Policy.

11

I'm not technical. Can I still work with you?

Yes. Most founders I work with aren’t technical. I explain every decision in plain words. You also get a workflow doc that shows what each file is for and how to hand it to your developer or AI tool. You never need to open code to follow along.

12

Do you write code?

Scale includes every screen as Tailwind CSS code your developers can build on. It works with React, Vue and most web frameworks. Launch includes browser-viewable HTML files. Building a mobile app? You get phone-sized previews in your browser, and Scale swaps the Tailwind code for design tokens and a component spec your app developers can use. I don’t build the full app or backend.

13

Can I use your files with AI coding tools?

Yes. The docs, HTML and Tailwind files are structured so Cursor, Claude Code and Lovable can read them.

14

Do you design dark mode and responsive versions?

Not in the base plans. Dark mode and responsive versions each need their own set of design rules, so they add real work. Tell me on the call if you need them, and you’ll get a fixed add-on price before we start.

15

What does Beunique Agency actually do?

Beunique is a UI/UX design agency for startups, led by Varun Dade. I plan, document, and design web and SaaS products, then hand them off ready for developers or AI coding tools.

16

Who is Varun Dade?

Varun Dade is a senior product designer from Pune, India, and the founder of Beunique Labs. He has 8+ years of experience and has worked with 200+ global clients and shipped 40+ products across industries.
