Nice · French Riviera
Design and development studio, based in Nice.
Harissa Studio is a Digital Partner headquartered on the French Riviera. We design and build platforms — UX/UI, AI, and Webflow — for startups and enterprises, from Nice to New York. If you're a company in Nice or the wider PACA region that wants product-grade design and development in one team, you're in the right place.
Does Harissa Studio work with companies in Nice?
Yes. Harissa Studio is headquartered in Nice, on the French Riviera, and works with local companies as well as clients across the US, UK, Canada and the Gulf. Founded by Elyes Ben Mrad — 11+ years in product design, Top 3% on Toptal, and a Certified Webflow Partner — it is a Digital Partner covering four capabilities under one roof: UX/UI design, AI platforms, development, and Webflow. Being based in Nice means local clients get in-person collaboration and a design-and-build team in their own timezone, without the handoff friction of stitching a design agency and a dev shop together.
What we do.
UX/UI Design
Research to pixel-perfect, high-converting interfaces. SaaS dashboards, product design, design systems.
AI Platforms
AI products and features built on leading LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral). We run our own AI product in production.
Development
We build what we design — no handoff. Next.js, React, Webflow, Supabase.
Webflow Partner
Certified Webflow Partner: custom design, CMS architecture, and migrations with SEO preserved.
One team, no handoff
The people who design your product are the people who build it. Nothing is lost between the mockup and the live site.
Local, and senior
Based in Nice, we can meet in person for kickoffs and launches — while staying senior end to end, from first sketch to production.
