What changes when we step in
From booking to first delivery in 48 hours
Every engagement is led by me, Razvan. The person thinking through your product is the same person overseeing every design that goes out the door, start to finish.
1. Book a call
We discuss your goals, your product, and what you need most right now. Just a real conversation about where design can make the biggest difference.
2. We set up your Slack channel
Once you're in, we create a private Slack channel. Share briefs however you like: a Loom, a Google Doc, a quick message. We confirm the approach and get started.
3. Design starts immediately
You'll see design progress every other business day. I stay close to the work throughout, aligning on strategy, reviewing every deliverable, and thinking through product decisions with you.
Everything you need, one team
Product design, web design, and branding, all included in your retainer. Use the full month for one focus area, or mix and match across all three.
Plans that fit how startups actually work
No long-term lock-in, no scope negotiations, no surprises. Pick the model that fits you and get started quick.

Retainer or custom project?
Choose a custom project when you already know what you need: a defined deliverable and a deadline. Choose the retainer when you want an ongoing design partner, guiding what to build next and why.
Senior design support without early-stage overhead
Early teams need speed, clarity, and flexibility before they need full-time headcount. We give you senior-level design support without long-term contracts, so you can build strong foundations first and decide what to scale later.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about how we work, what to expect, and whether we’re the right fit.
How much can we get done in a month?
It depends on the project's complexity, but a typical month covers something like an 8-section landing page designed + built in Framer, a quick brand identity with logo, colors, typography, and visual assets, and a set of 3-5 core product screens. If you would rather focus on one big initiative, we will dedicate the full month to it. For example, if you need product design, we can spend the entire month on UI/UX, building out your component system, and mapping user flows. In that case, the output is a significantly larger set of screens, whether that means the full app, a complete feature flow, or a major portion of your product.
Can I use it for just one month?
Yes. No minimums, no long-term lock-in. Use it for a month, pause, come back later. Many clients start with one month and stay because it works.
What if I'm not happy with the work?
We revise until you're happy, that's part of how the retainer works. Design comes down to taste, so if something's off, tell us and we adjust until it's right, no cap on rounds. We ship strong, considered work from the first round, but when it's a matter of preference, we keep going until it matches yours. If the partnership isn't a fit within the first week, we offer a 75% refund.
How fast can you start?
It depends on our current capacity. Sometimes we can start the next day, sometimes within a few days, sometimes the following Monday. If you have an urgent timeline, let us know during our first conversation and we will be upfront about what is realistic.
Do you offer motion design or development?
We do, as separate engagements. Our monthly retainer covers product design, web design, and brand identity. For motion design (promotional videos, complex animations) or full code development, we bring in specialized collaborators from our network. These are quoted separately and can run alongside your retainer or as standalone projects. Note: motion and interaction design for Framer developed websites is already included in the retainer.
