Design
From Product Designers and UX Researchers to Service Designers, Design Engineers and Motion talent, we help startups and scaleups build the teams that shape how products, services and brands look, feel and work.
Your first Product Designer might help define what the product even is. As the business grows, you may need someone who can build the systems and team to take it further. Our specialists know the difference and look beyond the portfolio to find people ready for the work ahead.
We know good Design goes beyond the portfolio
A polished portfolio only tells you so much. We look at the thinking behind the work, the decisions made along the way and how someone collaborates, communicates and responds to challenge.
That means balancing craft and experience with personality, potential and how someone will work with the founder and team they’re joining.
We help shape the Design team you actually need
Product Designer or Design Engineer? Service Design capability or a stronger user research background? One specialist hire or a wider team?
Our complimentary Foundations discovery workshop helps you define the discipline, seniority and team structure first, including what one person needs to own now and where you may need more specialised support as you grow.
Design is a spectrum. Every role is nuanced.
Product Design, UX and Service Design, and Creative and Motion each demand different strengths, ways of thinking and measures of quality.
We understand those differences, from product thinking and research depth to craft, storytelling and creative judgement, so we know what to look for and how to assess it. That includes emerging roles such as Design Engineer, where design craft, product thinking and code meet.
