AI-native, human-directed.
AI made average work faster, not better. Anyone can prompt a logo, a landing page, or a product mockup in minutes now. The problem is that most of it feels the same.
That is why taste matters more now, not less.
We use AI to move faster and explore wide but the final call still comes from senior people who know what to keep, what to change, and what will make a company feel more valuable.
DesignMe is led by Adrian Kuleszo, a designer and educator followed by over 650,000 creatives, whose design products have reached more than 80,000 designers at companies like Toptal, Porsche, and Intel. The companies we work with have raised over a billion dollars between them.
But DesignMe was never meant to be a personal brand with a few freelancers behind it. It is an in-house senior team for funded companies that have outgrown how they look and feel.
More output means nothing without better decisions.
That is the standard behind DesignMe.

Can you help with a new product from scratch?
Yes. We can help shape the scope, define user flows, design the experience, build the product or website, and support the launch. Depending on the project, we can work as your full execution team or plug into your existing product, marketing, or engineering team.
+
What does it cost to work with DesignMe?
Monthly retainers usually range between $6k and $10k/month, depending on scope, speed, team setup, and how closely we need to work together. For lighter ongoing design support, we can work mostly async with structured updates every 48 hours. For more active product, website, or brand projects, we usually run weekly or twice-weekly calls with regular progress updates. For fast-moving launches or complex builds, we can increase the cadence with more frequent calls and daily updates. Focused project scopes usually start from $10k+. Larger brand, product, website, mobile app, AI workflow, or development projects can be higher depending on complexity. Once we understand what you need, we’ll suggest the leanest setup that can realistically get the work done well.
+
How fast can you start?
It depends on our current capacity, but we usually onboard new clients within 1–2 weeks. If something is urgent, tell us during the first conversation and we’ll let you know what’s realistic.
+
How will we work together day to day?
We adapt the working rhythm to the project, your team, and how much alignment the work needs. For lighter or ongoing design retainers, we can work mostly async with structured updates every 48 hours. For active product, website, or brand projects, we usually run weekly calls, regular progress updates, and clear review cycles. For faster-moving projects, launches, or more complex builds, we can increase the cadence to 2–3 calls per week with more frequent updates, so decisions happen faster and the team stays aligned. Either way, you’ll always know what we’re working on, what’s ready for review, what’s blocked, and what comes next.
+
Can you collaborate with our in-house team?
Yes. We often work alongside internal founders, product managers, marketers, designers, and engineers. We can lead the design and build process independently, support your internal team, or collaborate directly with your engineers on implementation, handoff, APIs, and frontend/backend requirements.
+
Can you scale up support if our project grows?
Yes. If your scope grows, we can add more design, development, motion, branding, or strategy support depending on what the project needs. This is useful when you’re preparing for a launch, fundraising, product release, website rebuild, or a larger roadmap push.
We help ambitious teams shape the brand, website, product, and MVP they need for their next stage of growth.
