Collaborative design
“The hours I've spent in my life trying to maintain templates... I can't believe I don't have to do this anymore.”Borja — Head of Product Design
NewSurfaces
Design on your real pages,
pulled directly from prod.
Dessn pulls any page from your live app into a collaborative, editable surface. No recreating screens, no approximations.
Ajayan — Staff Product Designer at Color Health
HOW IT WORKS
From production to prototype in minutes.
- 1
Connect your codebase
One click points Dessn at your repository. No local setup, config files, or design system migration required.
- 2
Start from a real pagei
Pull any route from production into an editable surface. Every component, token, and pattern comes directly from your codebase.
- 3
Explore and share
Create variants, gather feedback, and share running prototypes with teammates and stakeholders.
CASE STUDIES
Surfaces is changing how these teams build
These teams use Surfaces to align, iterate on components, and run user testing in a way they couldn't before.
User research
“Surfaces are a game changer for me. Because so much of my work is about iterating on what already exists.”Ajayan — Staff Product Designer
Design system exploration
“Right off the bat, I don't feel like I have to take that 30, 45 minutes to get a good starting point. I can just start.”Janice — Design engineer

Straight from our Slack
You can't make this shit up
How users leverage Surfaces
Collaborative, sharable and
always on-brand
Iterate on features, fine tune animations, share pixel-perfect prototypes —
perfect from the first prompt.
Iterate on existing flows
Most of your backlog is improving screens that already exist. Pull them in and edit the real thing — no rebuild required.
See every state at once
Render default, loading, error, empty and success side by side from one real component.
Spin up the checkout demo
One-to-one client demos
Spin up a branded, interactive prototype that looks exactly like production for pitches and pilots.
Run user testing on real screens
Put a clickable, production-accurate prototype in front of users and capture feedback before a line of code ships.

A sandbox for the whole team
PMs and non-designers explore ideas on top of real components, then hand off code engineers can use.
