you & tonik – the perfect mix
We’re the design ingredient missing from your digital product. Tickling users in all the right places & making your business thrive.
We're a well-knit product design studio based in Poznań, Poland. We understand that each project is an investment, and as such should yield a high ROI apart from just making your users drool over the eye candy.
We mostly work with US-based early stage startups (pre-seed to series A), helping them define, build and scale their products. That being said, we also augument teams in organizations with more mature products, including Series D & E companies.
Our services can be boiled down to UX/UI, branding and front-end development, and if you're keen to see more reach out, take a peek at tonik.pl.
Thanks!
