Steerlab

Steerlab turns the tedious process of proposals and security questionnaires into a streamlined, AI-powered path to winning deals.
I worked with the team to shape a visual identity and product design language that embodies confidence, clarity, and strategic focus.
Pivoting to pre-seed funding
I connected with Steerlab at a pivotal moment during their residency at Station F, Paris’ largest tech incubator. With a working product powered by strong technology, they sought a refreshed brand and product design direction to accelerate growth, prepare for pre-seed funding, and drive momentum in their sales pipeline.
Flipping through with clarity
The symbol is designed with three layered elements moving in harmony, evoking the ease of flipping through documents with precision and control. It embodies clarity, organisation, and the confidence teams gain from an intelligent, efficient workflow.
A palette that guides responses
Designed for clarity and flexibility, the palette uses custom black and dark grey for extensive text content, complemented by softer secondary and tertiary tones that balance energy and calm. Mint and lavender introduce playful motion through gradients and provide visual highlights where needed.
Highlighting what matters
The gradient finds new purpose in pictograms that illuminate the product's key features across digital touchpoints. These branded markers bridge the gap between visual identity and product communication, ensuring feature highlights remain both distinctive and immediately comprehensible.
Letters without borders
Typography defines Steerlab’s visual voice. The typeface’s geometric, mono-linear forms echo the precision and rhythm of the product, while the so-called ‘bent pipe’ details lend character. Designed for universality, it spans Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, and Korean, enabling scalable application of the product across multiple languages.
Ensuring a scalable presence
To complement the brand, a set of matching scalable icons was created, enabling the product to be fully implemented immediately after roll-out.
A coherent visual style for avatars ensures consistency across social media channels, strengthening Steerlab’s employer brand on LinkedIn.
Product UI infused in the brand
The brand informed the product. Through UI design and close collaboration with Steerlab’s product team, I shaped main pages, proposal views, AI conversations, and a Chrome extension, ensuring every element upheld both usability and accessibility while remaining aligned with Steerlab’s visual identity.
