Product design for Berlin startups
We design apps and platforms for Berlin startups, in English and for German users too. We're a design studio from Bosnia & Herzegovina working on Berlin time, and we've already designed a full platform for the German market.

Platforms with more than one kind of user
For Standup Republic we designed an entire platform for Germany's stand-up comedy scene: tools for promoters, profiles for comedians, ticketing and an app for the audience. Each group had different needs and very little patience.
That's the kind of product we enjoy: several user types, complex flows and a need to keep it simple anyway.
What's included
- Stakeholder interviews & competitive analysis
- User flows & information architecture
- Wireframes & low-fidelity concepts
- High-fidelity UI design in Figma
- Interactive prototype for testing & sign-off
- Responsive layouts (desktop, tablet, mobile)
- Component library foundation & design tokens
- Developer handoff with specs, annotations & assets
How we work
- 01
Discovery
Structured stakeholder interviews, a competitive audit, and a review of any existing analytics. We leave with a shared brief that defines success metrics before a single screen is drawn — so no one is surprised at the end.
- 02
Research & Architecture
User interviews, jobs-to-be-done mapping, and information architecture work. We structure the product around how users actually think, not how the back end is organised.
- 03
Design & Iteration
Wireframes to high-fidelity UI in Figma, shared in short cycles. You review early and often so feedback shapes the direction rather than arriving when changes are expensive.
- 04
Prototype & Test
Clickable prototypes tested with real users against the success metrics defined in discovery. We iterate on friction before a single line of code is written.
- 05
Handoff & Build Support
Engineer-ready Figma files with a component library, interaction specs, edge-case documentation, and asset exports. We stay available throughout the build to review implementation and answer questions.
What a typical project costs
Take a product redesign: research, new user flows, UI for the main screens and a prototype tested with users. That's usually around 160 hours of work. Here's roughly what it costs with an agency in Berlin and with us.
Typical Berlin agency
€18,400
160 h × €115/h
frame387, from Bosnia & Herzegovina
€8,000
160 h × €50/h
That's about €10,400 less, or 57% of the budget, for the same work done by senior designers.
The local rate is a typical UX/web agency rate in Germany based on public 2026 data (European UX agency rate index, Clutch listings). This is an example, not a quote. Every project is priced separately after a short call.

Frequently asked
Can you design a product in English and German?
Yes. We design layouts that handle long German words and test both versions before handover.
Do you know what German users expect?
From our projects for German companies: clear terms, detailed information and no fluff. We design for that.
How long does a product design project take?
Most MVPs take 4–8 weeks depending on scope — we delivered Persuava's full SaaS redesign in five. After a short discovery call we'll give you a clear timeline and a fixed or capped estimate, not an open-ended hourly rate.
Do you work with our existing development team?
Yes. We deliver Figma files structured around your team's stack, with a component library, interaction notes, and edge-case documentation so engineers can build without guesswork. We stay available for questions through the entire build.
