One-week design sprint
A fixed-price sprint focused on product design for founders building with AI, with the work framed as a single week of senior attention rather than an open-ended project.
Dash
Dash is a fixed-price, one-week product design service for founders building with AI. It improves the look and feel of a product’s key surfaces and returns a working prototype on a live URL in real code.
Premium product design in a week
Dash is a fixed-price product design service for founders building with AI. It focuses on the parts of a product that shape first impressions: web apps, mobile apps, and product sites that need to look trustworthy before customers or investors see them.
The engagement is a one-week sprint led directly by Chris Halaska. The goal is not a ground-up rebuild or a long discovery process; it is a focused design pass that improves how the product reads and returns a working prototype on a live URL, ready to ship or hand to an engineer.
What Dash includes
Scoped around key surfaces
A focused pass on the surfaces people judge first, including web apps, mobile apps, or a product site, with the scope agreed together up front.
Live code output
A working prototype delivered on a live URL in real code, with HTML and CSS and, where needed, React, so the result can be reviewed, shared, or handed to an engineer.
Simple start process
An optional kickoff call, then a short brief covering the URL or repo, screenshots, references, and goals before work starts.
Included revision round
One consolidated revision round is included, which keeps the week time-boxed and avoids open-ended iteration.
Founder-led handoff
Direct delivery from Chris, with no junior handoff and no offshore team, and a Loom walkthrough at handoff so the reasoning behind the work is clear.
Common ways teams use Dash
Polish an AI-built product before launch
For founders who already have a working product but feel the interface looks generic or obviously AI-generated, Dash focuses on the surfaces people judge first before they decide to trust it.
Prepare for fundraising or demos
For teams preparing for investor meetings, the week is used to improve the product’s perceived quality so the demo and visual presentation do not undercut the numbers or the pitch.
Upgrade a live product with users
For products already in market, Dash can tighten the presentation layer without requiring a full redesign or a months-long engagement.
Work within an existing design system
For teams that already have a design system, Dash can work inside existing rails instead of starting from scratch, which makes the handoff easier for in-house designers and engineers.
Sequence web and mobile passes
For teams that want a second surface handled after the first release, the homepage notes that some clients book one Dash for the web app and a later Dash for mobile.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fixed-price, one-week engagement with a clear start and end.
- Direct work by Chris, with no junior handoff.
- Produces a working prototype in real code on a live URL.
- Can fit web apps, mobile apps, or product sites.
- One revision round is included, which keeps the process focused.
Cons
- It is not meant for ground-up rebuilds or new feature development.
- The scope is intentionally narrow and time-boxed, so it is not positioned as ongoing conversion or retention work against live traffic.
- Implementation into a production codebase is described as a different engagement, not part of a Dash.
FAQ
Can Dash help with a live product?
Yes. The homepage says Dash works for products that are already live with users, especially when the product works but still looks like it was built by AI.
What do I receive at the end of a Dash week?
Dash delivers a live URL with the redesigned product or site in real code. The page says the output can include HTML, CSS, and where needed React, and it is built in Claude Code so it can be handed to an engineer or dropped into an existing repo.
How many revisions are included?
One round of revisions is included. The page defines a round as one consolidated list of changes shipped together, rather than unlimited back-and-forth.
Will Dash talk to investors for me?
No. Dash is a design service, not advisory. The page says Dash makes the artifacts and you run the meetings.
Can you sign an NDA?
Yes, a standard mutual NDA is available before kickoff on request.
