Qubstudio

Qubstudio as a studio

Qubstudio is 100 percent UX/UI design, and 40 percent of its industry mix is fintech, which is a rare degree of focus for a 50 to 249 person team. Founded 2006 in Lviv with a London office, it works mostly for enterprise and mid-market clients at $50 - $99 / hr with a $10,000+ minimum. The reviews are the interesting part: a visual design audit that broke down what was working and what was not, a suite of separate products unified into one SaaS platform, and onboarding redesigns. Rating 4.9 across 92 Clutch reviews.

Who it fits

Hire Qubstudio when you have a financial or B2B software product that has grown inconsistent and you want a team that will critique it honestly before redesigning it. It does not do branding, so if you need an identity to go with the product you will need a second partner.

Strengths

• Fintech depth at 40 percent of the industry mix, with enterprise at half the client base.
• Willing to audit before it designs, as the visual design audit review shows.
• Nearly two decades of operation since 2006 with a 4.9 across 92 Clutch reviews.

Watch-outs

• UX/UI is 100 percent of the mix; no branding, graphic or web design line at all.
• A 50 to 249 person team means you are hiring a process, not a single design voice.

Evidence
