Metacarbon as a studio

Metacarbon describes itself as a full-cycle product design company, and Clutch lists UX/UI design at 100 percent. Founded 2019 with 10 to 49 people in Lviv, it charges $50 - $99 / hr with a $10,000+ minimum and holds a 5.0 across 34 Clutch reviews. Fintech is 30 percent of the industry mix and mid-market clients are 60 percent. The reviews show more visual range than the service list: animations and a design system for an observability site, illustrations and a UX/UI kit for a customer portal, and a responsive Framer website.

Who it fits

Hire Metacarbon when you are a fintech or B2B product team that wants interface work with some illustration and motion built in, plus a Framer marketing site from the same small team. It has no branding line, so identity must come from elsewhere or be scoped explicitly.

Strengths

  • Illustration and animation on record, unusual for a 100 percent UX/UI listing.
  • Design systems and UX/UI kits delivered in two of four reviews.
  • A 5.0 across 34 Clutch reviews at $50 - $99 / hr, with a $10,000+ entry.

Watch-outs

  • Founded 2019; the track record is short.
  • No branding or graphic design line despite the illustration work; scope any identity needs in writing.

Evidence

  • Service mix: UX/UI design 100 percent; industries led by fintech at 30 percent, then B2B, consumer and e-commerce at 20 percent each.
  • A Clutch reviewer says the team’s deliverables "included finalized layouts, a design system, a UX/UI kit, and illustrations".
  • Based in Lviv; founded 2019; team of 10 to 49; clients 60 percent mid-market, 30 percent startups.
