(N°9)Independent design & engineering studio
Lisbon · est. 2017
Design and engineering for products, brands, platforms and launches.
We are 19 designers and engineers who take products from a blank page to the App Store, the shop floor and the hundredth iteration after launch — with the same people in the room the whole way.

(01)Selected work
Work that moved a number, not just a mood board.
(02)Services
Four crafts. One team. No hand-offs.
Strategy, design and code live in the same squad, so nothing gets lost between a Figma file and production.
Identities built to be used, not admired in a PDF: wordmarks, type, colour, motion and the templates your team reaches for daily.

(03)Process
Twelve weeks, four rhythms, zero big reveals.
01 · Week 1–2
Listen
Interviews, data and a long look at what exists. We leave with a one-page brief everyone signs.
02 · Week 2–4
Sketch
Many directions, quickly. Real content, real constraints, prototypes in your hands by the end of week three.
03 · Week 4–12
Build
Design and engineering in the same room. Weekly demos, a shared board and no big reveals.
04 · Ongoing
Launch & stay
We ship with you, measure what changed and stay on for the first iterations — then hand over everything.
