Founders who
trust Rubik
Every founder we met had the same three options and none of them worked. Freelancers who were excellent until the week they vanished. Agencies that wanted a discovery phase and a change order before anyone opened Figma. Or a first design hire who was suddenly responsible for the product, the site, the deck, and the ad set.
None of that is a talent problem. It's a structure problem. Design gets fragmented across people who don't share context, and every handoff resets the work a little further back.
We started Rubik so a startup could plug into one senior team instead. Same people across product, web, brand, marketing, and motion. One rate, published. No scoping rounds, no hourly meter, no account layer between you and the person doing the work.
Two years and 40+ founders later, the model holds. What changed is the scale of it: what began as two people is now five disciplines across two offices, still senior-only, still async-first.

Different time zones. Same page. Meetings only when they matter.
After 7+ years designing for startups, I kept seeing good ideas held back by a broken system: vanishing freelancers, slow agencies, one overloaded designer. Not bad people. A bad setup.
Rubik is the fix I wished existed: senior design on a flat monthly rate, fast enough for startup pace, flexible enough to pause when the roadmap breathes.
Two years and 40+ founders later, the model works. Now we’re building the studio version: more structure, same speed.

Great companies need design they can rely on.
I have seen how fast-moving teams struggle when design becomes scattered, inconsistent, or dependent on the wrong people at the wrong time.
That’s why we are building Rubik as a dependable design partner for startups. A team that brings clarity, speed, and ownership to every website, product, and brand touchpoint. Our goal is simple: help founders move forward without slowing down for hiring, handholding, or endless agency processes.
Design that keeps up with your growth.
