Hey there.
We're NBS.

We're a small team of creatives and technologists who love shaping ideas at the early stage. We love solving problems, making things beautiful, making mistakes, and moving fast to fix them.
In short, we love the zero to one journey.
Let's go on a journey together

We believe that good design should be more accessible to early-stage companies, and not a consideration made only when bad design starts causing issues.

Hiring in-house design normally isn't an option at the early stage. So startups rely on freelancers. Which - if you've tried it - you'll know is a huge pain in itself.

This is why we started NBS. We wanted to create the in-house team for when you aren't quite ready for an in-house team.

We're in your Slack and in your standups. We know your product, your users and your problems. We jam on solutions together, and move as a team.

Our team is small. And we don't work with many companies. We love long-term partnerships that let us get in the trenches with founders and with products, and understand problems deeply.

Sound good? Let's jam.

How we work

Our process gets results. Fast.

Shaping

First, we meet jam!

We collaborate in-sync (over Zoom*) and spitball concepts in real time in Jam sessions at least once a week. This helps us shape the product strategy, ideate and figure out the hard stuff.
*on-site available occasionally in usa/europe!
Ideation

Lo-fi mocks in minutes

We're Figma power-users, and spin up rough design solutions at break-neck speed (often in front of your own eyes on Zoom). This helps us visualize ideas in real time and figure out if they're rubbish, or if they've got legs.
Visual Design

Go high fidelity

Once we have our rough draft, we make it work. We fill in the missing pieces and make it beautiful. And more importantly, we make sure it's actually achievable within our constraints (whether that's framework, budget or time).
Delivery

Formalize

Now that the messy, creative part is over, we'll componentize and document everything into the design system ready to either prototype or send to dev (and yes, we'll work with your devs to get it looking how it should).

Let's make something great together.
