Brand, website and product design agency for technology companies
heartbeat is a senior creative studio for technology companies. We turn founder vision and customer understanding into a distinctive identity, then carry it into the website, product, and materials your team needs next.
Design for your company’s next stage
You bring the vision, product knowledge, and understanding of your customers. We bring senior creative judgment: finding a character that fits the company and carrying it into the places people meet and use it.
You may be launching a new company, outgrowing an earlier identity, or preparing for a new market or funding round. We explore how people see your company, what they expect from it, and what using your product feels like. Together, we decide what the design needs to express and where that experience should change.
Seed, Series A, and self-funded teams can all face these situations. What matters is where you want to take the company and what needs to change to get there.
A foundation for the design that comes next
A brand Sprint takes shape around your product and the way customers encounter it. There is no standard deliverables list. Some foundations recur from product to product; the character of the identity and the places where it needs to come to life are specific to your company.
Together, we find the moments that matter most: a key website page, a product screen, a presentation, or a transactional email. These everyday encounters can need more attention than a standard brand guidelines document gives them. We work through the important ones so your team can see the identity in use and carry its character into what comes next.
Brand Sprints start from $35K. Our goal is to take the Sprint from start to finish in a month, and we do everything we can to make that happen. If the identity already works and the product needs attention, we can start there and build on what you have.

Not our words - theirs
Brand, website, and product - connected by one direction
We start with your vision and the way people see and experience the company. Together, we choose where design should express its character more clearly and what will help it move to its next stage. We can help you build on that direction as new work is needed.
| Area | What we work on | When it is useful |
|---|---|---|
| Brand | A distinctive identity and visual direction, with guidelines and applications your team can build on. | You are launching a company or the existing identity no longer fits the product and audience. |
| Website | Website design and development that carry the identity into how people understand your company. | The website describes an earlier company or does not make the product and its value clear. |
| Product | Product visual direction, UI patterns, and design for the experiences your customers use every day. | Your product has evolved, or its experience and brand need to work together more clearly. |
The process
The way people see your company. What they feel when they use the product. We explore those experiences with you, find the character the design should express, and bring it to life in the moments that matter.
