Dessn transforms your production codebase into a live, one-click design environment, enabling non-developers (PMs, designers) to prototype directly in code without setup or coding knowledge.

Dessn is the critical platform for democratizing product building, collapsing the design and coding silos into a single 'building' process. Co-founders Gab and Nim built this tool to turn the codebase into a safe, accessible design environment, eliminating the painful handoff between design mocks and production code. The technology supports React webapps and extracts components automatically, allowing designers and PMs to explore, prototype, and iterate directly in the source of truth. This approach dramatically increases team velocity and product quality, as demonstrated by one client creating over 100 prototypes in nine months, with Senior Engineers reusing 90% of the generated code.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Design directly in prod](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_8MXEaZwH5JU)

My product, Dessn. We start from the codebase and create a design environment around it. We have the unique combination of 1) allowing non-devs can to build directly in the codebase, 2) with zero setup cost, 3) visually. We've been in private beta for awhile - have built something genuinely changing workflows and people love. Have a bunch of beautiful user testimonials, people saying "I wish I didn't have plans this weekend - it was the first thing I did when I woke up and the last thing I did before sleeping".
