PreDesign
A tool we built to gather the information a design process needs before the design process starts.

The challenge
Design work stalls when the groundwork — site constraints, requirements, prior art — is scattered or missing. The gathering happens ad hoc, and every project repeats it from scratch.

What we did
- 01
Mapped the pre-design gap
Worked through the questions designers were repeatedly chasing down by hand before they could start.
- 02
Built a structured intake
Turned that checklist into a guided flow that produces a consistent brief every time.
- 03
Shipped as a public tool
Deployed as a standalone product at predesign.in rather than an internal script.
