Built by a designer who's been in the founder's seat.

Artone started because most design agencies treat startups like smaller versions of big companies. They're not. Early-stage teams need someone who understands the product as deeply as the design, someone who can think through what to build, not just make it look good.

That's what we do. We work as your embedded design and product partner: joining your calls, shaping your roadmap, and delivering the design that moves your business forward.

How we think about the work

A few things that make working with us different from what you're used to.

We plug into your workflow

Slack, Loom, Google Docs, a quick voice note. Share briefs however it's easiest for you. We adapt to how your team already works, so there's no new process to learn.

We help you figure out what to build

Half-formed idea? Unclear priorities? We help you shape it into something concrete before any design work starts. You're not paying us to wait for a perfect brief.

We think beyond the current sprint

Everything we design is built to grow with you: reusable components, consistent systems, and decisions that won't need to be undone in six months.

Your product, your style

We don't force a house aesthetic. We design what's right for your product, your audience, and your market.

Your product, your style

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.

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.
