Product design for Tallinn startups
We help Estonian founders design MVPs and growing products for users all over the world. We're a design studio from Bosnia & Herzegovina, an hour behind Tallinn, and we size projects for startup budgets.

- One hour behind Tallinn
- We work in English

From idea to something you can test
Early on, the risk isn't bad visuals. It's building the wrong thing. We start by agreeing which two or three flows decide whether the product works, and we design and test those first.
You end up with a clickable prototype you can put in front of users and investors, and a design foundation that won't need throwing away when you grow.
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 Tallinn and with us.
Typical Tallinn agency
€12,800
160 h × €80/h (estimate)
frame387, from Bosnia & Herzegovina
€8,000
160 h × €50/h
That's about €4,800 less, or 38% of the budget, for the same work done by senior designers.
We couldn't find solid public data on agency rates in Estonia, so the local figure is our estimate. This is an example, not a quote. Every project is priced separately after a short call.

Frequently asked
Can you help scope our MVP?
Yes. We help you decide what goes into the first version and what can wait, based on what users need to get value.
Do you work with pre-seed startups?
Yes. We keep early projects small and fixed-price so they fit a pre-seed budget.
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.
