Why NBS?
We pair expert design insights with founders’ domain knowledge to create beautiful products that *work*.

By using a hybrid in-sync/async process we keep costs down and avoid being a burden on your time. Sound good? Let's jam.
How we work

Our process gets results. Fast.

Shaping

First, we meet jam!

We collaborate in-sync (over Zoom*) and spitball concepts in real time in Jam sessions at least once a week. This helps us shape the product strategy, ideate and figure out the hard stuff.
*on-site available occasionally in usa/europe!
Ideation

Lo-fi mocks in minutes

We're Figma power-users, and spin up rough design solutions at break-neck speed (often in front of your own eyes on Zoom). This helps us visualize ideas in real time and figure out if they're rubbish, or if they've got legs.
Visual Design

Go high fidelity

Once we have our rough draft, we make it work. We fill in the missing pieces and make it beautiful. And more importantly, we make sure it's actually achievable within our constraints (whether that's framework, budget or time).
Delivery

Formalize

Now that the messy, creative part is over, we'll componentize and document everything into the design system ready to either prototype or send to dev (and yes, we'll work with your devs to get it looking how it should).

Let's make something great together.
