Design the right thing,
the right way.

The product studio of Chris Halaska. Twenty years of design judgement, six at Google on products used by a billion people. A small senior team working with funded AI, crypto and fintech founders to make the product match what they've built.

Why funded teams call us

The product shipped and the brand never caught up. Now there's a raise or a launch on the calendar, and the thing you're proud of looks like something you're not.

Almost every first call starts the same way.
"The engineering is better than it looks."
"It looks AI-generated, and customers can tell."
"We've been burnt by designers before."
"Investors don't get what we do."

Each one costs money in the room that matters: the pitch, the demo, the first real users. Here's what happened when teams in the same spot worked with us.

What founders say

What we do

We don't just design what you ask for. We help you figure out what to build, build it with you, and leave you able to keep building without us.

Most of our clients come to us for product design. The work rarely stays there. A sharper product exposes a tired brand. A new brand needs a site that carries it. A raise needs a deck that looks like the company you're becoming. So we do all of it, with one team, so every surface looks like the same company built it.

How we work

We look at where the product is and what the next few months need to carry.

We build it with you

A small senior team directed by Chris, designing alongside your engineers, shipping from the first week.

You're set up to keep building

A product and brand that match what you've made, and when you're ready to bring design in-house, we hand over cleanly.

Founded on experience

I started this studio after twenty years of designing products, six of them at Google. The thing I kept seeing: companies don't struggle to get design done, they struggle to get the right things designed. That's the gap this studio exists for. If that's the gap you're feeling, let's talk.
