Questions, answered
The things founders ask before they start. Anything else: hi@baked.design.
What does Baked Design Studio do?
Brand, product design (web and mobile), websites, full-stack web apps, launch videos and pitch decks.
The 2026 deck has the full picture.
How much does Baked Design Studio cost?
Do YC companies get a discount?
How fast is the work?
How does it work day to day?
Do I have to be on calls?
Book a 30-min intro call any time. After that, work runs async in a private Slack channel, so there are no standing meetings.
Is there a contract?
No contracts. Pause or cancel any month.
What can you get done in a month?
Here is what has fit in about a month on real projects. Inkbox got a brand, a site and a web app, and launched on day 12. Glidepath went from a new name to a live site in 10 days. TextPort got a new onboarding, light mode, a desktop app redesign and a new website in one month.
There are no contracts, so you can run one month, pause, and pick it back up when you need more. Not after a subscription? One-off projects are priced per project, starting at $10,000.
What counts as an update?
An update is finished work posted in your Slack channel, with a Figma link and often a Loom walking you through it. A few real ones: three directions for Spaceflow's website hero, Kite's new landing page hero with the reasons behind each choice, and onetwenty's home screens reworked for readability, with a new components page.
Will you sign an NDA, and who owns the work?
We are more than happy to sign an NDA. You own all the intellectual property rights once the payment is processed.
Do you build, or only design?
We design and build: websites and full-stack web apps, in Framer or code. Full-stack dev is part of Pro.
Do you make launch videos?
We make launch videos: story-driven films for launches, built from your brand, product and founder story.
Recent ones are on the home page: Homeroom, tash, Stoa and Fly Craft.
Who does the work?
Senior designers who have worked at Meta, Netflix, HubSpot and Expa, and been founding designers at 25+ startups.
Who have you worked with?
We work with 11 YC companies, 8 from YC S26, including Inkbox, Stoa, tash, Belvedir, Spaceflow, Coach AI, Context Dev and OpenTag. Text.AI, Orchid and Menza are from W26.
Peec AI and Comp AI have raised over $60M between them. The full list is on the home page.
Is there a deck I can share with my team?
Yes: our 2026 design deck.
