Who's the best fit to work with you?

Funded teams that want senior design and front-end support without building a full in-house team. Most are between pre-seed and Series B, in AI, fintech or web3, and already have funding, traction or a clear reason to level up their brand, website or product.

What does stuudio actually help with?

Brand identity, websites, product design, design systems, launch videos and front-end engineering. Teams usually come to us when the brand, product or website has fallen behind the company, or when they want one senior team to take an idea all the way from strategy to launch.

Are you a design or development agency?

Both. The team covers strategy, brand, product and UX, web design, motion and front-end development in React, Next.js and Framer. Some clients use us only for design. Others treat us as their whole design and front-end team.

Can you help with a new product from scratch?

Yes. We can shape the scope, map the user flows, design the experience, build the front end and support the launch. We either run the whole thing or slot into the product and engineering team you already have.

What does it cost to work with stuudio?

Retainers start at $10k a month, depending on scope, pace and how closely we work together. Focused projects start at $20k, and bigger brand, product or website projects cost more as the complexity grows. After a first call, we recommend the leanest setup that can do the job properly.

How fast can you start?

Usually within one to two weeks, depending on how many clients we have at the time. If it's urgent, say so on the first call and we'll give you an honest date.

How will we work together day to day?

We match the rhythm to the project. We join your Slack, post async updates and usually hold a weekly review. Around a launch or a fast build, that can go up to two or three calls a week. You always know what's in progress, what's ready to review, what's stuck and what's next.

Can you collaborate with our in-house team?

Yes. We regularly work next to founders, product managers, marketers, designers and engineers. We can run design and build on our own, back up your team, or work inside your repo with your engineers.

Can you scale up support if our project grows?

Yes. As the scope grows, we add design, front-end, motion or brand people. Teams often do this ahead of a launch, a raise, a product release or a website rebuild.

Why work with stuudio over hiring in-house?

Hiring costs time, money and management. Freelancers work well for single tasks, but rarely act as one team across brand, product, web and front end. stuudio gives you that senior team, accountable for the result, without a full-time hire for every role.

Do you use AI?

Yes, every week, to speed up research, exploration, prototyping and QA. AI makes ordinary work quicker, not better, so experienced people still decide what stays and what changes.
