From booking to first delivery in 48 hours

Every engagement is led by me, Razvan. You're not handed off to a project manager or a junior. The person thinking about your product strategy is the same person overseeing every design that goes out the door.

1. Book a call

We discuss your goals, your product, and what you need most right now. Just a real conversation about where design can make the biggest difference.

2. We set up your Slack channel

Once you're in, we create a private Slack channel. Share briefs however you like: a Loom, a Google Doc, a quick message. We confirm the approach and get started.

3. Design starts immediately

You'll see design progress every other business day, backed by someone who's thinking about the bigger picture alongside you. I stay involved in every project, aligning on strategy, reviewing every deliverable, and thinking through product decisions with you.

4. Adjust as you go

Need to shift focus from product to web? Done. Want to pause and come back next quarter? No problem. The retainer bends around your priorities.

4. Adjust as you go

No salaries, no benefits, no overhead. Just high-level design at a fraction of the cost. Cancel anytime and come back when you need us.

What if I'm not happy with the work?

Hey, I'm Razvan.

I've been designing since I was 11. Over nine years professionally, I've worked directly with startup founders from their earliest stages, helped them raise from top-tier VCs, and led product as Head of Product for a stealth startup backed by some of Silicon Valley's biggest names.

I started Artone because too many founders were getting design output that, besides being mediocre, no one was thinking about the product behind it. I wanted to build something where your design partner is also your product partner: someone who helps you figure out what to build, pushes back when needed, and makes sure every screen, page, and brand decision actually serves the business.

That's how we work. You're not handing off tasks to a queue. You're working with me directly, and I care about what you're building just as much as how it looks.

If that sounds like the kind of partnership you're looking for, let's talk. I'd love to hear what you're building.
