We take your idea end-to-end — positioning, brand, design system, marketing site, the software underneath, the content that tells the story — and hand the paid-for project assets back to you, documented and ready to keep.
Recent workTattoo artists, clients, and studios all meet on one surface. Artists present work, clients send briefs, studios manage operations. Deposits, payouts, and confirmations move end-to-end — all running in production at inkd.design.

We build the identity, the type, and the design system. We ship the marketing site and the product underneath — and we stay on long enough for the new foundation to be load-bearing.
No handoffs between strategy, design, and engineering — because there aren't three teams. There's one. Seven days, kickoff to launch. Fixed fee, not an estimate range. You keep the client-specific assets, repos, seats, and handoff inventory in the signed scope.
We take on three builds per quarter. If the business is real and the team is ready to ship rather than shop, tell us about it.
Founder-led and operator-led. Post-traction, pre-bloat — somewhere between Seed and Series C. Real revenue. A business the team is proud of and a website that stopped matching it two raises ago.
Serious about the work. We build for teams that care about craft and want the rebuild to reflect what they actually do — not a category template, not a moodboard, not a deck. Ready to ship, not shop.
