Booking projects for Q1 2027
Interfaces with a little sunlight in them.
An independent design and development studio. Clean product UI, fast websites, and brand systems that hold their shape.
01 / Welcome
Everything orbits something.
- ἥλιος/ˈhē·lē·ōs/
- noun, Greek. The sun. Holds 99.86% of the solar system’s mass. The other 0.14% is just along for the ride.
Ancient Greeks called the sun helios. Somewhere between Homer and now the h went quiet, and Greeks today just say ilios. Same star, modern accent. That’s the whole approach here… the design fundamentals that have always worked, spoken in today’s code.
Behind the name is Scott Patterson, designer and front-end developer, with more than twenty years of interface work for gaming, hospitality and brand teams. Small studio, direct line, no account managers in between.
- D-01
Product interface
UI/UX for software people use every day… dashboards, kiosks, account portals and the design systems behind them.
- D-02
Websites
Fast, considered marketing sites built in modern React. No bloated CMS, no page builders, nothing to patch on a Sunday.
- D-03
Brand in motion
Digital rebrands and brand portals that keep large teams on-palette, on-type and on-message.
02 / About Scott
Two decades of designing and shipping high-stakes products.
For more than two decades, Scott has designed and built digital products where the stakes are high and the details matter… enterprise casino management platforms, global corporate rebrands, and consumer experiences used by millions. As a U.S. Army veteran turned award-winning designer, he brings that same discipline to design. Nothing ships until the details are right.
He led digital design across three major rebranding initiatives at IGT, headed the design of an award-winning mobile enterprise platform at Konami Gaming, and runs Ilios Interactive, an independent consultancy. Along the way his work has earned Platinum and Gold MarCom awards, AMA ACE awards, and AAF ADDYs. What sets him apart is range. He designs the system in Figma, then builds it in React… one person, zero translation loss.

Questions
What if I go over my hours?
Extra work needs your written OK first, and an email reply counts. It bills at a member discount on your next invoice.
Do unused hours roll over?
No. If you regularly have hours left, a smaller plan is the better fit.
Can I change or cancel?
Move up or down any month, starting with the next billing cycle. Plans run month to month with 30 days’ written notice.
Do calls count toward my hours?
Yes, check-ins and strategy sessions come out of your plan hours.
What about a full redesign or new build?
Those are quoted separately as projects. Plan hours cover ongoing work.
Do long-term clients get a better rate?
Yes. Loyalty discounts start at 5% after one year and grow to 15% after five years.
