ABOUT THE DESIGN STUDIO

A studio, not an agency.

Thirteen years. Over five hundred projects. One person you actually talk to.

THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND THE WORK

Why we started this

For over a decade we watched founders pick between agencies that move too slowly and freelancers who do not understand the business. The third option did not exist. So we built it.

The pattern kept repeating.

Founders kept paying agencies $10,000 to $15,000 a month for work that did not move the business. Or hiring freelancers who took weeks on a logo while the landing page did not exist.

So we started The Design Studio.

A small team in Jaipur, India. Fixed-price sprints to launch. Monthly retainers for ongoing support. Founder-led, no theatre, no surprise invoices.

Businesses were waiting for exactly this.

Clients who once paid agencies $15,000 a month now pay a fraction of that for work they can point to. Some have been with Dev since 2018, from before the studio existed.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I'm Dev Sharma.

I have been designing since 2013, from solo founders to J&J, Microsoft, LG, Acquia, Philips, and Neil Patel. I went out on my own in 2015, started taking international clients in 2018, and opened The Design Studio in 2021 to fix what I had spent a decade watching: agencies that did not listen, and freelancers who could not move the business.

I lead a small team of 8 to 10 and I am hands-on with every project. You talk to me directly. No account managers, no junior handoff, no surprises.

PROOF OF WORK

Long relationships, not long client lists.

Thirteen years designing. Five running the studio. The number that matters most is the last one: clients who arrived in 2018 and have not left.

THE FOUNDATION OF OUR WORK

What we believe

A small team of 8 to 10, built like an in-house design team. Proven across dozens of small businesses and startups.

Outcomes before aesthetics.

Every brief starts with one question: what does this need to do for your business? The visuals follow.

Transparency builds trust.

Fixed prices. Defined deliverables. Scope boundaries written down. No hidden fees.

Design is an investment.

Good design does not cost money. It makes money. Our clients convert more and grow faster.

Speed wins.

Shipping fast matters more than perfection. We ship in days and weeks, not months.

A GOOD FIT LOOKS LIKE

We are a good fit, or we say so early.

This is for you if

You want it live in weeks, not next quarter.
You would rather have the work than the meeting.
You need design and the software behind it, from one place.
You are choosing on outcome, not on price.

This is not for you if

Every decision needs three rounds of approval.
You want a discovery phase before the work starts.
You need someone available at 2am.
You are choosing on price.
