Design and Engineering, in the Same Hands

Why we keep interface design and development together, taking responsibility for our own products and client applications from the first idea through life after launch.

Valentine Zubkov

The Freak Company is a privately owned design engineering studio. We design, build and publish mobile and web applications — operating our own portfolio of digital products, and working as the design and engineering team behind applications for other businesses.

Design engineering is the foundation of our approach to software development. The person who designs the interface is the same person who builds it: the idea, the design and the technology stay in the same hands, from the first sketch to what people actually experience.

We take applications from early definition through interface design and development to launch, then stay for what comes after: distribution, subscriptions, feedback loops, support, updates and continuous improvements. We live with the product decisions we make, and iterate to improve the outcome.

Owning and marketing our own products keeps us on top of the real conditions of running a software business: real users, real revenue, and the decisions that quietly shape whether something earns a place in someone's routine. That experience carries into everything we build for clients.
