Before you hire a design partner
Three things that put design projects over budget
- Inconsistent estimates?
Getting wildly different quotes for the same brief?
You get a written scope with every deliverable and what it costs, so you can see where each dollar goes before anything starts.
- Surprise costs?
Worried about extra rounds and hidden hours?
Revisions, design QA and developer handoff are in the plan from day one. No “out of scope” invoices for the basics.
- Plans that drift?
Seen a project slide past every deadline?
Work runs in milestones with a review at each one. If the scope changes, you see the effect on time and budget before we move.

What affects the price?
Price comes down to three things: complexity, speed and the level of polish you need. These four factors decide most of it.
-
Number of platforms
Web, iOS and Android each need their own layouts, patterns and states. More platforms, more design time.
-
Product complexity
Dashboards, data visualisation, payments or real-time features need deeper research and more edge cases.
-
Number of features
Every flow — onboarding, profiles, messaging, settings — adds screens, states and testing.
-
Design system or from scratch
Building on an existing design system is faster. A new brand, custom components and motion take longer.

Pricing questions
Something else? Ask us directly.
What is your minimum budget?
Projects start from [starting price]. For smaller needs, a focused design audit or system sprint is often the best place to start.
Why don’t you have a fixed price list?
Every product is different. Price depends on platforms, complexity, number of features and how much already exists. After a first call we send a written estimate within a few days.
How do payments work?
Projects are paid per milestone. Brand and website work is a fixed fee. Embedded partnerships are a monthly retainer you can pause or end with notice.
Who will actually work on my project?
Senior designers only, with the founder involved in every project. We bring in trusted specialists — motion, illustration, development — only when the work needs them.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, before the first detailed conversation if you need one. Most of our work is under NDA.
Want to know what your project will cost?
Tell us about it and we’ll send a written estimate with scope, timeline and price — usually within [two working days].
