The product studio of Chris Halaska
Design the right thing,
the right way.
Design the right thing,
the right way.
I spent six years at Google designing products used by over a billion people. I started this studio because founders deserve the same quality of thinking without the agency overhead.
The person who sells the work does the work. I lead the product direction on every engagement, supported by a senior design team. No account managers. No junior handoff. No surprises.
Products, websites, and brands. $25,000 per month.
Why founders choose us

The Agency model
The Agency model
The senior partner sells the work and disappears.
3-6 month SOW. Hope for the best.
$300K-$600K for a team you didn't choose.
The deliverable is a presentation.
Process is the product.
Halaska Studio

Rolling monthly. Cancel anytime.
$25K/month. You work directly with Chris.
The deliverable is a shipped product.
Judgment is the product.
What we don't do
The value of
partnering
with us
We don't pitch. If the portfolio and the conversation don't close it, spec work won't either.
We don't staff juniors and sell as senior. The client knows exactly who is doing the work.
We don't do "discovery phases" as upsells. If the project needs scoping, that's part of the partnership.
We don't compete on price. $25K/month is a fraction of an agency and roughly the cost of a senior hire, except you get twenty years of experience starting on day one.
We don't scale by adding headcount. Two to three clients at a time, by design. When the slots are full, the answer is a waitlist.
Monthly Partnership
A dedicated product design team.
You work directly with Chris.
Open-ended, rolling monthly.

I left Google to build the studio
I always wanted to work with
I spent six years at Google designing products for over a billion people.
I started Halaska Studio because I saw what was broken about how founders buy design: the senior person sells, the junior person executes, and nobody takes ownership of the outcome.
This studio is the opposite of that.
The person with the judgment does the work.
