Designers who think like founders.

Most designers wait for tickets.
We think in revenue, own the product vision
and prioritize like founders.

We understand engineering velocity, cost, and what a
growth loop actually is — and design to move the business
forward, not to get featured on Dribbble.

Our designers are veterans — 10+ years at companies like
Zapier, who realized they're happiest in small teams where
they can fully lead design instead of pushing pixels under a
PM.

That's the profile. You get that designer. We provide the
infrastructure that keeps them great.
