About us

Abous us

Big agency thinking, small studio focus

We're a design collective, that helps start-ups and established companies create the next generation of digital products for mobile and beyond. We were established in 2021 by Dan Tase and Louana David, after leading product design & branding projects for some of the world's largest businesses.


We work independently, or by assembling skilled groups of designers, researchers, strategists, and engineers from our extensive network of collaborators. Our deep expertise means we think big (like large agencies), while being extremely close to your business and priorities (like a small studio). What's not to love?

Approach

Who we're working with

As a deliberately small company, we can only take on a limited number of projects each year. For this reason, we choose to work exclusively with companies that we are genuinely enthusiastic about and where we believe our experience can truly benefit the business.


Lately, we found ourselves gravitating more towards consumer businesses, emerging-tech and sustainability.

Where we can help

Product Design

Where we can help

Hands-on support for when you have a product area that hasn't been touched in a while, or when you're too close to a specific problem to see beyond the current constraints and think creatively.


But most of the times, for when you're too busy with keeping the boat afloat to think outside of the box.

A prototype is worth 1000 meetings. We collaborate and sync on design artifacts more than on vague Google Docs & Sheets.
