About

I’ve spent 10+ years designing products for startups, scale-ups, and large companies. I kept seeing the same problem: teams struggle to hire great designers fast, or spend months just getting basic design moving. I created Makely to solve that. It’s a design studio where teams can get beautiful, usable product design in days - no contracts, recruiters, or endless interviews. Our goals: make design accessible, give founders breathing room, and combine speed + quality so design isn’t a bottleneck. We’d love your feedback or a chance to collaborate: makely.studio

We’re testing a new workflow for startup design - feedback welcome!

Hi everyone,
Over the past 10+ years designing for startups and larger teams, I kept seeing the same problem: getting design done quickly without hiring delays is really hard.
So we built Makely Studio, a small design studio that lets teams get high-quality, usable product design in days - no recruiters, contracts, or long onboarding. Right now we re testing a new workflow for how teams interact with our studio and get work done. We d love your feedback on questions like:
Does this process make sense for a small team?
How would you improve the experience?
What s missing that would make it easier to get started?
Any thoughts, suggestions or critiques would be hugely helpful as we finalise things before launch. Thanks so much for taking a look! https://makely.studio
