Our world
Why we started
Founders are stretched thin trying to make progress on multiple fronts, whilst tirelessly seeking capital and talent. Design plays a critical role in a company’s success, but its value is often misunderstood. Great design creates a seamless, intuitive experience that aligns with user needs and expectations. It not only attracts new users but also keeps them engaged and satisfied, building loyalty and driving long-term business value.
Knowing where to get the right design support is tough. Big agencies are often cost-prohibitive. Freelancers and internal hires often lack all the skills that you need.
That’s where UntilNow comes in.
We combine real-world expertise with a deep understanding of the startup journey. We provide founders with both advice and execution. Helping them scale from idea to growth with the right combination of expertise at every step of the way.

We work with client partners in three key ways
01As a traditional partner
The standard approach where we exchange our services for a fee. We scope and estimate a project with you and bill upon achieving agreed milestones.
02As an equity partner
When it makes sense for everyone involved, we exchange our services for equity. This is typically done on a part cash, part equity basis.
03As a joint-venture partner
In select cases, we will partner with other studios, investors or companies to be the design co-founder on a new venture. We first understand whether we are a good fit, before aligning on an approach and structure that will set the venture up for success.
