Work with us

A small studio of three, and every product we make starts with the people who use it.

For 12 years we have designed digital products, for more than a hundred clients, from one conviction. A good product needs craft more than a big team.

Our founders had worked at agencies, startups and enterprises, and had seen what each does well and where it falls short. So they built a studio where senior people do the work, design and development go hand in hand and every client gets the attention it needs.

We stay small on purpose. AI does the heavy lifting now, so three senior people get more done than ever, with no layers in between. Every client works directly with the people who do the work. Nothing is handed down to juniors, and nobody sits between you and the work.

We put our energy into the work, for clients such as Heineken, Uber and SPIE.

We work for teams who can make more than ever with AI and want it to be right: from an idea that has to be tested first to a product people already use that has to get better. The work runs from a four-day design sprint to a six-month product build.

  1. Start at the core

    What do your users need, and what should your business achieve? Only once that is sharp do we design.

  2. UX makes the difference

    Products differ in how well they work for the people using them. That has always been our work.

  3. Test before you build

    An idea is only good once users can work with it. So we test early, and again and again.

  4. Design-first, close to the code

    We have designed for 12 years, and as a team we developed what we designed. So we know what the technology can do, and the decisions made in the design survive into the product.

  5. The people you meet do the work

    A small, senior team with no sales department and nothing handed down. You talk to the designers who design your product.

  6. Design without impact is decoration

    We answer for what ships and measure it against what it was meant to change.

A small team that gets a lot done, now more than ever. AI takes on the making, so our time goes to the research, the design and the choices. Everyone at Strakzat is senior, hands-on and invested in the work.
