How the day works

Nine hours apart, on purpose

We are a studio in Slovakia, 9 hours ahead of San Francisco. Your morning is our late afternoon, so we talk then and design while you sleep.

Questions

Working with us from San Francisco, answered

Do you have an office in San Francisco?

No. We are a design studio in Slovakia that works with US teams remotely. Contracts and invoices come from Fackt Labs LLC, our US company.

How do the time zones work?

We are 9 hours ahead of San Francisco. Calls happen in your morning, which is our late afternoon, and we design during your night, so new screens are waiting when you start your day.

How much does it cost?

Most projects are a fixed price from $5,000, done in 2 to 6 weeks. Ongoing design is $6,900 a month and you can pause any time.

Why not hire a designer in San Francisco?

Hiring takes months and a single designer covers one skill. With us you start this week and get product, web and motion design from one team. Many founders start with us and hire later.

Can you start with an audit?

Yes. Send your product and within 2 days you get a video walkthrough and a written list of fixes, ordered by impact.
