Motka Design Studio

Motka Design Studio as a studio

Motka Design Studio is the rare record in this batch where design is the whole service mix: UX/UI 40 percent, product design 25 percent, web design 25 percent, branding 10 percent, and nothing else. It is a remote team out of Ljubljana, founded in 2005 with 10 to 49 people. Reviews describe brand identity refreshes, landing pages, case study layouts, UI kits in Figma, print collateral and messaging plans. Startups are 65 percent of clients; the minimum is $5,000+ and rates are $50 to $99 per hour. Ten Clutch reviews, all 5.0.

Who it fits

Hire Motka when an early-stage software or media company needs a coherent brand refresh, marketing site and UI kit from one small team without an agency price tag. Edtech and media companies make up half its industry work. Larger organisations wanting enterprise governance or a famous-name studio should look elsewhere; enterprise is only 10 percent of its book.

Strengths

• Entirely design: no development line to pull the engagement toward build
• Reviews show identity, web and product UI delivered together, with Figma UI kits as a repeat deliverable
• Ten reviews at 5.0 and a $5,000+ entry point make it one of the most accessible pure design studios listed here

Watch-outs

• Remote and boutique; if you want a studio with a public reputation or in-person workshops, this is not it
• Branding is only 10 percent of the mix, so identity work is competent support rather than the lead craft

Evidence

• Design share 100 percent: UX/UI design 40, product design 25, web design 25, branding 10
• Clients: startups and small business 65 percent, mid-market 25 percent, enterprise 10 percent; minimum $5,000+
• A Clutch reviewer: "refreshed the client's brand identity, created landing pages and case study layouts, and built a UI kit in Figma"
