About Codename

Codename Design is an award-winning digital product design studio that partners with clients on an ongoing basis to deliver strategy, UX, UI and visual design and product management.

Over the past 15 years we’ve worked with fortune 500 companies, leading nonprofits and category-busting startups to solve complex design challenges. We’ve worked with clients, big and small, on apps and websites for education, healthcare, finance, emerging technologies and more.

We work with teams over the long term as a design partner from early stage conception of projects, through to launch and beyond. We provide the quality and speed of execution you expect from an experienced team. We do everything you‘d expect from a nimble design agency, and even some things you might not.

Design expertise when you need it

Every project is unique, and what you need from a design team changes, sometimes quickly. We’ve got the experience to work in fast-paced, complex environments and adapt as you need. Here are some things we can help with:

Tackle Complex Projects

Clarify complex ideas and get from brilliant (but vague) notions to compelling stories that explore ground-breaking possibilities and get alignment around complex visions and concepts.

Move Faster

If you’re an established team and you want to run a parallel process to test ideas without affecting your core product and engineering team we can move fast, and validate ideas quickly.

Reduce Risk

Bring us in to build prototypes, conduct interviews and research, validate big ideas and initiatives so you can refine and learn before investing fully in innovative projects.

Start your mission

Your mission starts with a free 30-minute call so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit to take on your mission with you. Drop us a note with your name and a brief description of your project, and we’ll set up a time. No risk or obligation on your part. We look forward to hearing from you.
