Our Design Support Subscription means you're our top priority and can expect lightning fast turnarounds. We'll be in on standups and acting as much like an internal part of your team as possible.

This service is tailor made for early startups, giving you all the skills of an in-house design team right out of the box.

Design Thinking Workshops

When we’re up against a design or product challenge, often the best thing for it is to work through it together in real-time. We run regular desgin thinking sessions with clients where we sketch out rough mockups to quickly figure out what will and won’t work.

Research-Driven Problem Solving

Any time we ask “how should this work?”, we turn to existing products or advisors. More often than not, somebody has already encountered and overcome this challenge. We try not to reinvent the wheel and instead defer to the people who’ve already done the research.

Remote & Asynchronous

Wherever possible we keep conversations in Slack, and tasks in Mast. This means when we do hop on a call we won’t waste time discussing small design details and can focus on the big picture challenges ahead f us.

Strategy Transparency

In asynchronous design teams it can be difficult to keep track of why certain product decisions were made. Clearly documenting design iterations makes sure nobody is guessing why we did something a certain way.

Design Systems

A comprehensive and well documented design system saves everyone time in the long run, and lets everybody get involved in quickly mocking up concepts using existing elements. Every product project we work on has a design system.

Quality Assurance

We run regular QA cycles, pouring over developed features for errors in implementation, or just simply for things that can be improved.
"We work really closely with NBS - so much so that it doesn't feel like an agency but more like a product team. They have exceeded our expectations and have been really easy to work with - couldn't image a better agency to work with."
