AI Summary

Can Harissa Studio work with startups in New York?

Yes. Harissa Studio works with New York and US-based companies as a remote Digital Partner for UX/UI design, AI platforms, development, and Webflow. Based in Nice with a hub in Tunis, the studio has morning-to-early-afternoon overlap with US Eastern hours and is used to working async with American teams. It's a strong fit for New York's Series A/B startups — companies that just raised and need a product that reflects the round — and for enterprises modernising a legacy platform. The differentiator: one team designs and builds, so founders skip the expensive, slow handoff between a design agency and a separate development shop.

What we do.

UX/UI Design

Research to high-converting product interfaces. SaaS dashboards, design systems, pixel-perfect UI.

AI Platforms

AI products and features built on leading LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral). We run our own in production.

Development

We ship what we design — no handoff. Next.js, React, Webflow, Supabase.

Webflow Partner

Marketing sites your team can run, plus migrations with SEO intact. Certified Webflow Partner.

One team, no handoff

The people who design your product are the people who build it. A platform that matches your raise, shipped without the coordination tax.

Remote-native, US-ready

Async by default with a solid overlap window on Eastern time, and senior people on every call — never a junior or an account manager.

How it works.

01 · Brief & Discovery

Deep dive into your product, your users, your business goals. We don't start designing before we understand. (1-2 weeks)

02 · Wireframes

Information architecture, user flows, wireframes validated together. Unlimited iterations. (1-2 weeks)

03 · UI Design

High-fidelity design, components, states. We iterate until it's right — not approximately right. (2-4 weeks)

04 · Prototype

Interactive prototype on the main flows. We test, we adjust. (1 week)

05 · Handoff

Annotated Figma file, design system, technical specs. Dev has nothing left to ask. (1 week)
