What we do

Both. Many companies know Zypsy for brand, but product design and engineering are core: user research and UX, interface design, and engineering that embeds with your team to help build and ship the product, from functional MVPs onward. These tend to be longer, embedded partnerships, not one-off projects.

Companies past product-market fit, Series A and beyond, scaling brand and product toward category leadership. The best fit already treats design as leverage, not decoration. If you want a team to execute tasks, Zypsy is not the fit; if you want a partner to shape and elevate brand and product, it is. See our work and client directory.

Yes. Zypsy builds the brand and product credibility growth-stage companies need to win enterprise buyers, investors, and senior talent. A common reason teams bring Zypsy in: the product works, but the brand and experience need to signal the company is built to last.

Two formats. A sprint is time-bound and complete in itself, to move fast and finish with a system in hand. A retainer is an ongoing partnership where design compounds as the company scales, common for product and engineering work that runs for years. Zypsy takes one new client a month.

Pricing is based on scope, not subscription tiers. An engagement starts with a single, upfront price for the sprint, so you know what to expect. From there, Zypsy can continue on a retainer or project basis as an integrated part of your team.

Zypsy is a design firm, and more than a typical agency. Where agencies optimize for deliverables and repeat billing and the relationship ends when the project does, Zypsy works embedded with founders and, through Zypsy Capital, invests in companies it believes in, so the quality of the work and the outcome of the company matter long past the invoice.

Brand is the first thing customers, investors, and talent feel about a company, before the pitch or the product. Zypsy treats brand as trust infrastructure, not decoration: the signal that a company is credible and built to last. For venture-backed teams, that trust compounds at every fundraise, launch, and hire.

It starts with a conversation, not a pitch form or an RFP. A new engagement begins when there is a clear match between what Zypsy does well and what the founder is building. Zypsy asks the hard questions early, about positioning, stage, and what "done" looks like, before scoping anything.
