A one-stop shop to get all UI&UX design services your startup needs to get to the next level
Why work with us?
Many reasons. Here are some.
- 01Masters of early-stage UI/UX designOur bread and butter is design for startups, but especially UI&UX design. We've designed 0-1 on dozens of projects for fintech, HR, productivity, IoT, and other industries. We've developed a way to move fast without breaking things.
- 02Constantly-collaborative and fast-movingClients tell us all the time about their experiences with traditional agencies who take a brief, disappear for 2-4 weeks, and then come back with a finished project that's often off the mark. That's not our style. We work in 2-3 day iteration cycles and weekly check-ins, acting like an extension of your in-house team.
- 03We deliver future-proofed workGreat design isn't just for today; it lays the groundwork for future growth. We consider long-term factors from the start, ensuring our work supports your product and team as they expand. Our design legacy will your team have the clarity needed to hit the ground running.
- 04We're a true thought partner, not just a pixel-pusherWe don’t just execute—we challenge ideas, refine strategies, and help shape your product. Our approach involves deep collaboration with your team, ensuring that every design decision is aligned with your business goals. We provide insights that go beyond aesthetics and design craft.
- 05Experts in navigating startup challengesWe love the fast-paced world of startups, where being quick on your feet is a must. We are all about rolling with the punches and tackling the unique hurdles startups throw our way, making sure our design process stays nimble and ready to adapt to whatever comes next.
Let’s talk about your product.
Don’t take our word for it.
Here’s what our clients have to say.
"Contrast helped us ensure our engineering team stayed up to speed and had what they needed"
"It was great to be able to rely on someone to take ownership and just get things done"
"Contrast worked quickly, shared updates every couple of days, and delivered faster than we expected"
"Consistently delivering top-notch quality at lightning speed, with minimal management"
We get those questions a lot. This might help you too.
We're not your typical agency that asks for a long brief and then disappears for 2 weeks at a time. We move fast and work in short iteration cycles. You'll receive updates on tasks every 1-2 days if you get us on retainer, or every 3 days if we're doing a fixed-price project.
What counts as un update? They can either be a completed task or a progress report towards a larger one. Updates are made up of a video demo and notifications in Slack and Notion.
We use Notion for project management. We'll set up a page for your company. This is where you'll be able to add product documentation, brand guidelines, graphic assets, etc. This is also where you'll use a kanban board to list out all the tasks you want us to work on.
Finally, as you probably expect, we use Figma for all interface design work. You'll have full transparency into what we're doing. For all other design work (brand identity, print materials, social media assets) we use the Adobe Creative Cloud apps.
We typically deliver around 2 tasks per week. The exact timing depends on the scope, but when tasks are well-defined, we move quickly. For instance, we completed 80+ design tasks over 10 months for Invisibly—some big, some small.
Here's an example. Say you needed a new landing page and you provide us all the necessary materials (text, requirements, creative direction, brand assets), we can deliver the first iteration within 48 hrs.
We understand these are just estimates. To ensure we meet your expectations and help you minimize risk, we offer a 2-week trial period. This allows you to test our service, complete some tasks, and see if we're the right fit—all at a moderate cost.
Studio Contrast is based in Romania (EST-7) and serving customers across the USA. We shift our hours to overlap 6 hours with the West Coast and 3 hours with the East Coast.
We're an embedded design partner, not just a service provider. We join your team and deliver like an in-house designer, just without all the hiring overhead and risks. Try our service for 2 weeks, no strings attached.
We're great at building 0-1 or 1-10 and solving complex product design challenges. We've built in hard tech industries like aerospace or security. We're the perfect founding design partner, helping you set a strong foundation for your product from day 1 and outdesign your competition.
We're not a one-and-done service provider. We don't build you a cool website, take your money, and go on to the next thing. We're long-term partners in your journey. That means we become embedded in your team, take ownership, and self-organize to deliver on projects that help achieve business goals.
