Trusted by founders across Asia & Europe
Product design for teams too far along to wing it, too early to hire.
I design and build end to end, from a first idea to a shipped
product. Mobile-first, no handoffs, no headcount.

How it works
No black box. Just process.
01Call & Scope
A short call to understand what you need, then a clear scope and price before anything starts.
02Direction
Early concepts and direction, so the right approach is agreed before full design work begins.
03Design
The bulk of the design work happens here, screen by screen, in the open as it takes shape.
04Build
Design becomes a working product, built and tested piece by piece as it comes together.
05Launch
It ships live. Afterward, ongoing support only continues if it's actually useful to you.
Karisu.Studio
Not an agency. Not a full-time hire. Karisu plugs into your team to design and build, from a first idea to a shipped, working product, mobile-first, without the overhead of adding headcount. A design partner for founders and small teams building digital products.

Fractional Product Designer
Amsterdam to Tokyo to Hong Kong. Asia showed me what a truly mobile-first market looks like, now every product I touch starts at the smallest screen.
Recognize This?
You're not the only one.
These are real situations teams find themselves in, not hypotheticals. If one lands, there's a good chance I've already solved it before.
That's exactly the gap Fractional Product Design fills. A dedicated design resource, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
