Design-led development studio crafting impactful Products, Code, and Experiences.

Your design partner at every stage

For Startups Designing Their MVP

You have an idea. You're racing against time.

You don't have your first designer yet — but you need to show something real, validate fast, and move.

DesignPettai = your temporary design team until you hire your permanent one.

We partner with early-stage teams turn ideas into functional MVPs in weeks, not months.

Rapid UX/UI design sprints
Clickable prototypes that investors can understand
Developer-ready screens for quick build
No overhead. No hiring delays. Just momentum.

For Products teams who have found your PMF

You've cracked PMF — congratulations 🎉

Now the real pain begins: Shipping features fast without creating design or tech debt.

DesignPettai = your unfair advantage during the we need to ship faster phase.

We understand this phase deeply. Your challenges become ours:

Features need to go live yesterday
Flow consistency is breaking
The UI system isn't scaling
Devs are hacking screens to meet deadlines

We help you move fast without breaking your product's future. We bring deep expertise in:

Scalable pragmatic design systems
(UX systems > UI systems)
Debt reduction without slowing your roadmap
Hands-on collaboration with your PM + engineering team

For Scaleups Looking to Augment Their Design Team

Your product is big. Your design team is stretched.

You need extra hands that operate at your level, not freelancers who need hand-holding.

We scale your design team without you needing to hire full-time. Think of us as your embedded product design pod — flexible, fast, and aligned with your roadmap.

We plug into your system like an internal team:

Address long-standing design debt
Improve UX flows across the product
Deliver features aligned with your tech constraints
Strengthen or rebuild your design system
Document patterns so future teams move faster

We’ve worked with hundreds of amazing people

Service - Design - Product - Code - Brand

We strive to stay at the forefront of emerging trends and technologies, while completely ignoring them and forking that old Rails project we feel comfortable using. We stand by our core values to justify that decision.
