FIFTYSEVEN is a boutique branding & design studio founded in 2016; end-to-end engagements, limited capacity, founder-led by Petar Stojakovic; working across the UK, Switzerland, and the US.
Selected clients: Roswell Biotechnologies (now SemiconBio), DePoly SA, 1910 Genetics (now 1910 AI), Happy Ring (now Happy Sleep), Koniku, Invstr, Enzian Health, and others. From first pitch to exit, our clients have raised, scaled, and been acquired.
| Core Focus | We work at the intersection of design, strategy, and technology: biotech, climate tech, deep tech, healthcare, fintech, and the companies defining what comes next. Most of our clients come to us at high-stakes transitions where design acts as a primary value-driver:
- Fundraising - Market Entry - Competing for Talent - Scaling to Acquisition
The work we do in those moments isn't cosmetic; it is the visual layer that shapes how a company is seen, valued, and remembered.
| The Mission | Not the polish, not the praise, but the client outcome. The funding raised, the market entered, the company that steps into its next size.
From there, the company speaks for itself, and it speaks of us.
FIFTYSEVEN offers competitive pricing for high-quality design services, with project costs ranging from $20,000 to $38,700. Clients appreciate their value for cost, effective communication, and timely delivery, suggesting strong overall value for startups and established businesses alike.
While FiftySeven excels in many areas, one client suggested that they might not be the best fit for large-scale rebranding projects requiring extensive strategic planning and design thinking.

Our Story
FIFTYSEVEN was founded in 2016 with a full in-house team, built on a standard that still defines us.
By the end of 2022, we wanted more than a single place could hold. Taking the studio global, and going fully remote, made the work sharper, bolder, and impossible to fake.
Growth never meant getting bigger. It meant getting better, and choosing to stay rare.
Boutique by choice, not by default.
