Sola Studio is a small independent practice for product teams — UX review, accessibility remediation, and frontend implementation, structured around clear scope, written context, and practical handoffs.
Sola Studio is run by Yoko Shiina — reviewing user flows, locating friction across interface layers, and translating findings into practical outputs that product teams can act on. Where the work continues into code, that means the implementation itself — React, Next.js, TypeScript, API integration, and accessibility remediation.
The work addresses what sits between screens, wording, and implementation — locating where the gap actually sits, and bringing it to a point where the team can decide and act.
Sola Studio is designed as focused professional support rather than a large agency setup: clear scope, written context, practical handoffs, and remote-ready collaboration.
Most useful when a team can already sense that something needs attention, but the scope or layer has not yet been clearly mapped.
UX judgment
The work looks at what users, stakeholders, and engineers need to understand, trust, compare, decide, or act on before things can move cleanly.
Frontend context
Implementation is worked through with real frontend context: components, states, forms, flows, APIs, accessibility remediation, maintainability, and the codebase or team setup around the work.
Written handoff and clear next steps
Work is structured around written context, agreed scope, and practical outputs, so that what comes next can be discussed, implemented, reviewed, or scoped separately.
Where the work starts depends on what is already known. Sometimes the problem has not been located yet. Sometimes it has been identified elsewhere and needs carrying into the code. Sometimes the work is clear and the capacity is not.
For when something is not working but has not been located yet — structured attention to screens, wording, and flows, mapping where users hesitate, stop, or misread.
For when an external accessibility audit has already identified the issues — relating those findings to the actual codebase, preparing a Remediation Estimate, and carrying out the agreed frontend changes.
For when the work is understood and the capacity is not — components, states, forms, flows, and integrations through which interface decisions take practical form.
