View serviceSpecific operating choices that make the studio closer to an embedded senior designer than a conventional agency.
Every client works directly with Luka from brief to delivery. Team-based services such as Superside and ManyPixels include creative teams or project managers; DesignHopper keeps thinking, communication and execution with the same person.
DesignHopper retainers can be paused or cancelled, and fixed project quotes are available. As of September 2026, Superside lists a $15,000 monthly minimum on an annual term; DesignHopper starts at $3,999 for one month.
DesignHopper's Retainer is $3,999 per month. As of September 2026, Designjoy advertises its Monthly Club at $4,995 per month, making the DesignHopper entry plan $996 lower while keeping a one-request-at-a-time model.
The studio publicly caps its active roster at three clients and works through each client's queue one task at a time. That constraint protects attention and keeps the founder involved instead of spreading work across an anonymous production bench.
Most requests show first results within two business days. Retainer clients receive updates twice per week; Retainer+ clients receive updates every other day.
The studio works best when design is important enough to need senior attention but demand does not justify another permanent hire.
VC-backed founders and early-stage startup teams building web or mobile products.
SaaS product teams that need senior UX, UI and design-system support without a full-time hire.
Web3 and crypto teams simplifying dashboards, marketplaces, payments and gaming experiences.
Marketing and growth teams launching websites, landing pages, product demos and motion assets.
Product leaders with a defined backlog who need an embedded senior designer to move it forward.
A deliberately small studio led by Luka, with Ivan bringing motion and animation into the mix.
Luka is a product designer with ten years of experience across product strategy, UX, interface design, websites, design systems and motion. His work has spanned desktop, web, iOS, and Android products, dashboards, marketplaces, monetization flows, creator tools, streaming, video calls, and large-scale design system rollouts.
Ivan brings motion design and animation to the team. His curiosity-led approach creates distinctive visuals that help ideas connect with people.
DesignHopper was founded in 2023 after Luka had spent years inside product teams, helping make product decisions as well as design them. The studio was built to give clients the continuity of an in-house senior designer without the layers, meeting load or long-term cost of a traditional agency.
Today it operates as a founder-led independent practice: clients work directly with Luka, while the active-client cap keeps the relationship close and the work coherent.
A short path from first conversation to a working design queue.
We confirm the challenge, scope, team and whether the working model fits. Project work receives a fixed quote; ongoing work starts with Retainer or Retainer+.
Onboarding establishes priorities, working files and access. Trello can hold the task queue, Figma handles design delivery, Google Drive handles shared assets and Google Meet covers calls.
Slack is the default day-to-day channel, with WhatsApp or Telegram available. There is no account layer between the client and the designer responsible for the work.
DesignHopper works through unlimited queued requests one active task at a time. Larger requests are broken into reviewable stages so progress remains visible.
Updates arrive twice per week on Retainer or every other day on Retainer+. Feedback is folded into the next iteration, then final files and implementation guidance are prepared for the team.
Direct answers to the questions teams ask before starting.
The core offer covers product design, web design and motion design. Retainer work can also include graphic design, strategy and design-management support when those needs connect to the active project.
You work directly with founder and designer Luka Krčmar from the first call through delivery. There is no account manager translating the brief between you and the person making the work.
Retainer is $3,999 per month and covers product design, graphic design and web design, with updates twice per week. Retainer+ is $5,999 per month, adds motion design and brings updates every other day. Both are month-to-month and can be paused, and one-off projects get a fixed quote.
Most requests show their first results within two business days. More complex product flows, websites or motion pieces take longer, with progress shared twice per week on Retainer or every other day on Retainer+.
Tasks are prioritised in a shared queue and completed one at a time. Slack is the default communication channel, with WhatsApp or Telegram available when that better fits the team.
Yes. Retainers are month-to-month and can be paused when the backlog is light, then resumed when design demand returns.
Yes. A team can use the studio for one month and pause afterwards, or request a fixed project quote for a defined piece of work.
Fiverr and Upwork are marketplaces where the designer and working model can change from project to project. DesignHopper is an ongoing relationship with one senior designer, one working rhythm and context that compounds over time.
