Case Studies
India’s largest online grocer
Hiring designers at scale becomes a bottleneck.
Scaling a product org means design hiring becomes a bottleneck. Hundreds of portfolios, no reliable way to judge craft at speed.
Designers reviewed every candidate's actual work, not resumes. Portfolio deep-dives, live problem-solving, taste checks.

India’s most premium athleisure brand
A premium apparel brand needed design leadership for its collections. A role where a wrong hire costs a full season.
We assessed candidates on collection thinking and craft, not titles, and hired a Sr. Apparel Designer who could design their entire product line.
Co-founded by Cricketer Ishan Kishan
Healthy snack brand
A healthy snack brand needed a designer who could handle UI/UX changes and social content in one role, not two.
We hired for range, not specialisation. Found a junior UI/UX designer who could ship website updates and social posts with equal care.
