Why DONO Studio
Staff-level product execution without the payroll.
A fraction of the cost
A full-time Staff Designer or Senior Frontend Engineer costs $300k+ each in salary and equity. DONO Studio gives you elite UX design and production-ready code for a flat $4,999/month—pause or cancel anytime.
World-class design quality
12 years of experience spanning Meta, GoDaddy, and fast-moving startups. I grasp complex product context fast, communicate cleanly, and ship high-caliber consumer and enterprise design from day one.
Who Is This For?
Built specifically for teams that need high-caliber design execution without traditional overhead.
Early-stage startups chasing PMF
Founders who need senior-staff design thinking to validate product-market fit and ship 0-to-1 features quickly, but can't afford a $400k full-time Product Designer.
Teams with intermittent design needs
Companies that need top-tier design support for active feature launches, but don't have enough continuous volume to justify a full-time hire. Subscribe when your roadmap heats up, and pause when it slows down.
Growing teams looking to uplevel quality
Product teams with existing designers who need specialized design consultancy to elevate their end-to-end product experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as one request?
A screen, a workflow, a component, or a self-contained feature. Larger initiatives (like a full app redesign) are broken into sequential requests so you see testable progress every 2 to 3 days instead of waiting weeks for a big reveal.
How fast is turnaround?
Most requests get a first pass within 2 to 3 business days. Since work is executed asynchronously, submitting a clear brief up front is the biggest lever on speed.
What tools do you use?
We skip static Figma mockups entirely and build directly in production code using Claude Code.
What's not included?
Large-scale illustration campaigns, 3D animation, and backend engineering. If a request needs specialized external resources, it gets flagged up front rather than quietly attempted.
Can I pause my subscription?
Yes. Pause for any month where you have no active design tasks and resume whenever your roadmap demands it. Billing stops completely while paused.
