About the studio

A founder-led studio for teams that care about craft

DesignSpark Studio is small on purpose. We pair a senior design eye with the engineering depth to ship the work — no hand-offs to junior implementers, no agencies-of-agencies, no Slack channels with eleven account managers.

Founder & lead

Samuel Pullen

I've spent the last decade designing and shipping consumer-grade products — fitness, finance, wellness, and developer tools. I started DesignSpark because the agencies I worked with were never built for the pace modern startups actually run at.

Every subscription engagement begins with a 15-minute intro call so you know exactly who you're working with. There is no hand-off. The person you talk to is the person designing your screens and writing your code.

How we work

Four principles that shape every project we ship.

Craft over volume

One client, one focused queue, one designer. We deliver fewer requests per day on purpose so each one is shippable as soon as it lands.

Direct, async first

Slack, Loom, and a shared board. We protect deep work time so weeks don't disappear into stand-ups and status meetings.

Stack-agnostic

Next.js, Framer, Webflow, native iOS — we pick the tool that fits, not the one we want to bill for. If we're not the right shop, we say so.

Honest commitments

We publish our SLAs and our refund policy on the pricing page. If we miss, you don't pay for the cycle.

A 15-minute intro call is the fastest way to find out. No pitch deck, no obligation — just a working conversation.
