Hey, I'm Razvan, founder of Artone Studio.

I’ve been designing since I was 11 and working in the industry for over eight years now, across early-stage startups, large enterprise clients, and everything in between. I’ve worked closely with founders from the earliest stages, helped them raise from top-tier VCs and also led projects as Head of Product for a stealth startup backed by some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent names.

I started Artone to make high-level design more accessible to early-stage teams. Founders who are sharp, technical, and ready to build.

We’re not just here to make things look good. We’re product people at heart. We think deeply about how design ties into traction, conversion, retention, and growth. We work with you to build something your customers value, your investors notice, and your team is proud of.

If that sounds like the kind of partnership you’re looking for, let’s talk. I’d love to hear what you’re building.
