A small, opinionated studio building brands, interfaces, and interactive things that don't look like they were focus-grouped to death. Very pretty. Suspiciously functional.
Brief us in 60 secondsFYC DSGN was started in a Bushwick kitchen in 2019 by three designers who were tired of "make it pop," "can we try it bigger," and slideware that couldn't survive a Monday. We stayed small on purpose.
We work in sprints of clarity. First we argue with your brief. Then we agree with it. Then we build something your users actually use and your investors actually remember.
Mondrian once said he wanted to paint as if walking through a garden of pure relationships. We just want to make your landing page not suck. Same energy.
Scroll right to flip the cards. We don't outsource, we don't template, and we don't bill you for a junior pretending to be a director.
Interfaces people can use at 2am with a toddler on their lap. Research, flows, prototypes, handoff — all of it.
Webflow, Framer, Next.js — whatever makes your team ship. Performance budgets, not performance art.
Logos, systems, guidelines, and the vocabulary your CMO will accidentally quote on a podcast.
Blender, Spline, After Effects. Product visualizers, hero loops, and the kind of scroll-jacking your boss will love.
Tokens, components, documentation — the un-sexy scaffolding that turns 3 designers into 30 without chaos.
Embedded, retainer, or fractional. We sit in your standups so you stop arguing about gradients at standup.
Fixed packages, not a maze of change orders. If your project doesn't fit, just ask — we'll scope it in a day and tell you the truth.
Something on your mind. Two weeks of us, focused, to go make it real.
Brand, site, and handoff. The version we quietly hope you'll choose.
For teams who want us quietly in the DMs and loudly in the standups.
FYC took our incoherent mood board and a deck we were embarrassed by and gave us a brand our investors quote back to us. We've since raised a Series B. Correlation, causation — who's to say.
I asked for "clean and modern." They pushed back and asked what I actually meant. Six weeks later we had the best-performing site in our category and three awards I don't understand but proudly display.
They made our design system so unreasonably pleasant to use that our engineers filed a ticket to thank them. In seven years of shipping, that has never happened. Hire them yesterday.
We read every message from a real human, usually within a few hours. If we're a fit, you'll be on a call with a founder inside 48 hours. If not, we'll point you somewhere better.
