# Baked Design Studio

> Async design and build studio for startups: brand, product design, websites and full-stack web apps, launch videos, pitch decks. Work happens in a private Slack channel and is ready to review within a day. Flat monthly pricing, no contracts.

## Founder
- Nick, Founder and creative director. 17+ years in product and marketing design, including Meta. Builds Baked in public on X, sharing how the studio runs, client work and lessons.
- Story and updates on X: https://x.com/nickbakeddesign

## Pricing (USD per month, cancel anytime)
- Basic: $8,999/month (YC founders: $8,099/month). 2-3 updates a week. Senior designers, product design (web + mobile), marketing sites, private Slack channel.
- Pro: $12,000/month (YC founders: $10,800/month). 3-4 updates a week. Everything in Basic, plus branding, Framer, full-stack dev and design systems for LLMs.
- Every YC company gets 10% off every month, any batch.
- Refer another founder and you both get another 10% off, stacking with every referral.

## How it works
- We work with 10 YC companies, 7 from the current S26 batch, including Inkbox, Stoa, tash, Kebra, Coach AI and Context Dev. Text.AI, Orchid and Menza are YC too. Peec AI and Comp AI have raised over $60M between them. The full list is on the page.
- Two flat monthly plans, in USD. Basic is $8,999 and Pro is $12,000. YC founders get 10% off, so $8,099 or $10,800. Refer another founder and you both get another 10% off.
- Any YC company gets 10% off every month, any batch. Referrals stack too: each founder you send takes another 10% off for both of you.
- Most requests are ready to review within a day. Basic gets 2 to 3 updates a week, Pro gets 3 to 4. Inkbox (YC S26) went from no brand to launch in 12 days: branding, content, website design and build, web app design and front-end code.
- Book a 30-min intro call any time. After that, work runs async in a private Slack channel, so there are no standing meetings.
- No contracts. Pause or cancel any month.
- We design and build: websites and full-stack web apps, in Framer or code. Full-stack dev is part of Pro.
- Brand, product design (web and mobile), websites, full-stack web apps, launch videos and pitch decks. The 2026 deck has the full picture.
- We make launch videos: story-driven films for launches, built from your brand, product and founder story. Recent ones are on the page: Homeroom, tash, Stoa and Fly Craft.
- Senior designers who have worked at Meta, Netflix, HubSpot and Expa, and been founding designers at 25+ startups.
- Here is our 2026 design deck. The list on the page has recent clients too.
- You get a private Slack channel. Drop a request and work is ready to review within a day. One request at a time on Basic, more in parallel on Pro.
