Neuron

Neuron as a studio

Neuron is 100 percent UX/UI design, run by a 10 to 49 person team across San Francisco, Los Angeles and Boston since 2016. Mid-market clients are 70 percent of the book, and the pricing is West Coast: $150 - $199 / hr with a $25,000+ minimum. What distinguishes it in the reviews is method. Two of the four cited engagements begin with an audit, then move to journey maps, design systems and page reskins. B2B services is the largest industry at 20 percent. Rating 5.0 across 52 Clutch reviews. No branding line exists.

Who it fits

Hire Neuron when you have a working product whose interface has drifted and you want a small senior team to audit it, systematise it and redesign it in Figma. If your brief is a brand, a logo or a marketing site, the record gives you nothing to go on.
