Product design & engineering studio
We build products
that feel inevitable.
Nova is a nine-person studio that designs and ships web products, brand systems, and interactive experiences for founders who'd rather launch something remembered than something safe.
About Nova
One senior team, design and code under the same roof.
Most studios hand your project between a design team and a dev team, and the seams show. Nova keeps design and engineering in the same room from kickoff to launch, so nothing gets lost in translation and nothing ships that wasn't meant to.
We've spent nine years building for fintech, SaaS, and consumer brands who needed their product to look like the best version of itself on day one — not after three redesigns.

Services
Everything a launch needs, nothing it doesn't.
Product design
Interfaces built from real user flows, not mood boards — wireframed, tested, and polished to shipping quality.
Learn moreWeb engineering
Fast, accessible front ends and the back-end plumbing to run them — built to stay fast after we leave.
Learn moreBrand systems
Identity, type, and voice defined once and documented so your team can extend it without us.
Learn moreMotion & interaction
Purposeful animation that explains state changes and rewards attention, never decoration for its own sake.
Learn moreGrowth & SEO
Technical SEO, performance budgets, and analytics baked in from the first commit, not bolted on after.
Learn moreDesign systems
Componentized, documented, and versioned — so your product team ships new screens in hours, not weeks.
Learn moreWhy Nova
Four things every client tells us mattered most.
Senior team, always
No juniors learning on your budget — every project is staffed by people who've shipped this before.
Fixed timelines
You get a launch date in week one, and we hold it — scope changes get a plan, not a delay.
30 days post-launch
We stay on for a month after you ship to fix what real users find, on us.
Design and code, one team
The people who designed it build it, so what ships matches what you approved, pixel for pixel.
Selected work
A few launches we're proud to put our name on.

FAQ
Questions we hear before kickoff.
Most engagements run 2 to 8 weeks depending on scope. We give you a fixed launch date in week one and hold it — if scope grows mid-project, we scope the change separately rather than push the date.
Yes — about half our clients are pre-seed to Series A. The Starter tier exists specifically for teams that need one polished surface before a raise or launch.
Everything. Source files, code repositories, and the design system are handed over in full, with documentation, so your team can extend the work without us.
Often, yes. We can lead design and hand off implementation-ready specs, embed alongside your engineers, or build the whole thing ourselves — whichever fits how your team already works.
Every Growth and Scale engagement includes 30 days of post-launch support to fix what real users surface. After that, most clients move to a lightweight monthly retainer.
