Effect-driven design.
It is all about focusing on the outcome and using the right tools to get the best results. Backed by thorough research and insights, we combine smart shortcuts to speed things up. It’s a balanced approach that meets both business goals and engineers’ needs.
Client-centric approach.
We prioritize transparency, responsibility, and quality, tailoring our processes and insights to your unique goals. Guided by research, we partner with you to navigate challenges and deliver impactful, business- and user- focused solutions.
Ready-to-code design.
Design is a powerful decision-making tool, especially in complex tech ecosystems, where small design choices can lead to costly adjustments. We understand technology's choice impact, delivering practical, business- and dev-optimized solutions.

Jeronimo
about
We started by leading the discovery phase and then designed the UX/UI for a social platform that brings people together over shared interests in books, films, and cultural content. We kept in regular calls with the client's frontend dev team, making sure our design decisions were easy for them to implement. The result? An immersive experience that fosters community engagement.
the effect
Speeded-up development - thanks to our ready-to-code designs, developers can immediately start working because the project is already tailored to technical requirements.
Reduced errors = Lower costs - a solid design handoff with a style guide and detailed interaction descriptions minimizes errors during coding, ultimately lowering project costs.

Backstage Members
about
The app is a lifestyle platform that allows users to discover, book, and pay for exclusive services and experiences, offering features like personalized recommendations, a marketplace, a digital wallet, and a loyalty program. Creating the prototype at the end of workshops was crucial for validating design decisions, gathering feedback, and iterating on the user experience before full-scale development.
the effect
Cost-effective market validation - the client can test prototype and validate the product in the market without the high expenses of mobile development.
Investor-ready prototype - with a fully clickable, app-like prototype, the client can showcase the app to investors, increasing the chances of securing funding.

Planbox
about
We rebuilt a resource planning web app with a single designer who both designed and implemented it using no-code Bubble tool. This streamlined the process by eliminating the need for a complex design handoff or onboarding additional team members. For simple apps, no-code skips the need for extra developers, and slashes time-to-market. Plus, no maintenance headaches—no packages or code updates. It’s faster, leaner, and perfect for founders focused on quick, effective solutions.
the effect
1.5 months of no-code vs. 4 months of classic development - Bubble, as a low-code platform, allows for faster application creation compared to traditional coding from scratch.
Focus on business logic - less time spent on coding means more time to refine key business functionalities.
How we execute effect-driven design
We know design, project management, and technology inside out—and we know when to ask our specialists for support. We use their expertise to even better plan a project and design processes to effectively use your time and budget.
Every project is different but sometimes is just enough to:
adjust user-centred design process plan
use ready-made design systems and libraries
choose the smart CSS framework
tailor Project Management
use no-code instead of trad-coding
have devs on board and be willing to ask them for advice
statement
Effect-Driven Design Studio takes full responsibility for project decisions, using creativity to merge design with technical capabilities. Guided by purposefulness and quality, effdde✦ delivers effect-driven solutions while optimizing resources to maximize impact.
