Forge is a UI/UX product design studio that embeds senior designers into your team. We specialize in UI/UX product design, enterprise design systems, and zero-to-one product design, with staff augmentation as one of the engagement models we support (L4–L8 designers who ship from week one). Over $10 million in engagements since 2019 across 70+ clients including Coinbase, Roblox, Instacart, and Salesforce.
Forge is a design studio, not a traditional agency or staffing firm. No account manager buffer, no spec hand-off. Senior designers embed in your workflow from day one. Every designer is vetted; roughly 80–90% of applicants don’t make it through.
High-growth tech from Series B to public stage. Clients include Coinbase, Roblox, Robinhood, DoorDash, Salesforce, AWS, Grammarly, and Y Combinator startups.
Most engagements start within 1–2 weeks. We maintain an active pool of vetted senior designers ready to embed immediately.
Forge is a fully remote studio headquartered in San Francisco. Designers are distributed across the U.S. and work inside client tools and timezones.
The best first step is a brief discovery call. Reach us at forge.is/listening or hello@forge.is. We’ll ask about your team, what you’re building, and what you need, then propose an engagement within a few days.
