We left agencies to make design affordable.
Designgrow started in 2021 with a simple complaint: good design had become a luxury for the businesses that need it most. A bakery should not need $15,000 and two months to look professional.
Studio numbers
Five years, in brief.
From one designer and a spare room to a team of six. The price has barely moved.
One designer, one promise
Nadia quits a London branding agency and offers a logo in three days for a flat fee. Twelve clients in the first month, mostly friends of friends.
Websites join the menu
Clients kept asking who could build the site. Priya joins and the brand + website package is born. The 72-hour clock becomes the whole business.
100 projects, a real process
The hour-by-hour ledger is written down. Every project now has a second designer checking the work before handoff.
Complex arrives
Shops and clinics needed more: payments, bookings, bigger sites. The one-week Complex tier launches with Elif leading development.
Clients in 31 countries
Over 300 projects. Most new work now comes from referrals. We stay six people on purpose.
400 and counting
Same prices, same clock, same senior team. And now, finally, a proper website of our own.
What we believe.
Four rules we have kept since the first project.
No agency theatre.
No discovery workshops, no mood-board decks, no account managers between you and the designer. The work is the meeting.
The price is the price.
Fixed and public. You will never get an invoice that is bigger than the quote.
Senior hands only.
Everyone on the team has at least seven years of practice. Nobody learns on your project.
Small is not a lesser brief.
A corner café deserves the same care as a bank. Often the craft matters more when the budget is tight.
The six of us.
You will talk to the person doing the work. Photos coming soon; for now, initials.
