Trusted by the World’s Best Company
Rubik.design was built on a simple premise: founders in Los Angeles need a design partner that operates at their speed.
We deliver a dedicated, senior-level product design team on a flexible monthly subscription, specializing in Framer to take your idea from concept to launch-ready MVP, faster.
Why Rubik is the Unfair Advantage for Chicago Startups
In a market where investor decisions happen fast, a static slide deck is no longer enough. We specialize in Framer because it provides a critical competitive edge for founders in Chicago.
Go Beyond Mockups
Instead of just showing investors flat images, we build high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that feel like a real product. This level of polish is a game-changer in pitches at accelerators like 1871.
Launch Real Websites, Instantly
Framer allows us to design and launch stunning, production-ready websites with built-in CMS and animations, cutting out the need for a separate development phase. For a Chicago startup, this means launching your marketing site in days, not months.
Iterate at Speed
The flexibility of Framer allows us to make changes and push updates in real-time based on user feedback gathered from your target audience in Chicago.
A Look Inside the Chicago Tech Scene
To build a product that wins here, you have to understand the local DNA.
The raw ambition flowing from the University of Chicago and the intense focus of the finance sector create a unique pressure cooker for innovation.
We see founders grinding in coworking spaces in the West Loop, trying to solve problems for a demanding local audience.
Your product doesn't just need to be functional; it needs to feel like it belongs in Chicago. Our design process is tuned into this local frequency, ensuring your user experience is intuitive to a user from Lincoln Park.
