Start with a sprint.
Scale to a whole team.

No hourly billing, no surprises. A fixed two-week sprint to begin, then a senior pod you scale one lane at a time, research, design, motion, design systems, and front-end code.

Start here

The Feel Sprint

Two focused weeks on your most critical surface, onboarding, an AI flow, the core loop. Diagnosis, interaction direction, motion, and a working front-end slice you can ship.

If the direction at the first concept review isn't clearly stronger, you stop and pay nothing.

The maths

Cheaper than one hire. It's a whole team.

The real comparison isn't another studio, it's your own payroll. One senior product designer is the most expensive way to get a fraction of what you need.

Hire one senior designer
~$22,000per month · ~$260k/yr fully loaded, with benefits and equity

And you get… one person.

Still no dedicated researcher, motion designer, design-systems lead, or front-end engineer. And if they leave, it leaves with them.

Pricing questions

The details.

What decides the exact price?

You start with one active lane, the Embedded Pod, $15,000/mo. Two priorities shipped at once is the Parallel Pod; a full reserved team is the Dedicated Studio. Everything's scoped to your roadmap on the call, so you only pay for the capacity you actually use.

How does the Feel Sprint work?

Two weeks, one critical surface. We diagnose, show a direction at a first concept review, and ship a working front-end slice. If that first direction isn't clearly stronger than what you have, you stop and pay nothing. It stands alone, no obligation to continue, though most roll into an Embedded Pod.

Do you write real code?

Yes. Motion and UI ship as working front-end code your engineers can merge, not just Figma files and a prayer.

How fast can we start?

Usually within a week of the first call. The first sprint is scoped in the call itself.

What if it's not working out?

Month to month, no lock-in after the initial term. And the Feel Sprint is guaranteed: if the first direction isn't clearly stronger, you don't pay.

Can you handle complex, technical products?

It's our specialty. AI agent workbenches, multi-agent learning platforms, design systems across 80+ brands. Complexity is exactly where feel matters most.
