Define
The early, unresolved part: deciding what is worth building before anyone commits to building it.
- Product definition & discovery
- Product architecture
- Systems thinking
- Prototyping to decide
Independent digital product studio
We design and build digital products.
Corsaro defines, designs, and builds digital applications and AI products, from the first unresolved question through to shipped software. One studio doing the thinking and the making.
01 Technology is one of our materials, not our identity.
02 We make things worthy of keeping.
Selected work
A curated portfolio. Each project lists its real client, timeframe, and role. The work speaks for itself.
Companion
An AI assistant built into the merchant admin. A working prototype, not a document, became the spec: no new backend, the model standing in for the search the platform never had.
Fun & Games
An independent, multi-tenant SaaS for running youth-sports leagues: its own illustrated world, a privacy-first avatar system, and a lineup builder driven by confirmed availability. Defined, designed, and engineered end to end.
Onboarding
A trial funnel converting far too low, with nothing instrumented to say why. Aim with heuristics, ship a guided flow, then let measurement take over. Conversion to paid tripled.
BigDesign
A design system nobody trusted, because nobody owned it. Founding the team and building it hands-on made consistency the path of least resistance.
CEMEX Go
A suite of disconnected MVPs across every customer touchpoint, turned into one coherent product, and a measurement practice built to keep it that way.
CEMEX DLS
Five years building one design language for a 100-year-old industrial company, from an editorial PDF to a Stencil.js component library that mirrors the design source one for one.
VA eHMP
An electronic health record modernized in under a year, HIPAA and Section 508 compliant, by treating twelve-hour clinician fatigue as a patient-safety problem, not a styling ticket.
What we do
Three ways to bring us in.
Design
Interfaces and systems that stay coherent as they grow, and that people forget they are using.
- UX & interaction design
- Information architecture
- Design systems
- Interface craft
Build
Shipped software, not slides. Front-end craft, working AI, and the plumbing behind both.
- Digital applications
- AI products, assistants & agents
- APIs, automation & backend
- Front-end & design-system code
How we work
Good products are coherent works, not collections of features.
Start with the problem
Technology rarely deserves to lead.
Respect history
Understand why something became what it is before changing it.
Context decides
There are no universal solutions, only appropriate ones.
Patterns travel
The best ideas often arrive from somewhere unexpected.
Make it lovable
A first release should earn affection, not merely prove viability.
Craft is felt
People experience care even when they cannot name every detail.
About
Founded by David Linke.
Architect by formation, builder by habit, and designing for the internet since 1998. Corsaro brings product definition, interaction design, front-end engineering, and AI into a single studio, the same person doing the thinking and shipping the work.
Start
Bring the part you can't get past.
The best time to bring us in is while the problem is still unresolved. Send what you have, even if it is messy: a rough brief, a flow that keeps breaking, a decision you can't make. You will hear back from David, not a form.
A product, end to end
Define, design, and build the whole thing, from the first unresolved question through to shipped software. One studio doing the thinking and the making.
A decision, made
A focused definition or a working prototype to settle what is worth building, before anyone commits the budget to build it.
Senior weight, embedded
Product leadership, design-system work, or AI and agent work, brought into your team for as long as the hard part lasts.
