From startup idea to established design studio
FlowUpNext Founded
Started with a simple belief: mobile apps should feel natural, not complicated. Our first client was a local restaurant that needed a ordering app that actually worked for their customers.
First Major Success
Redesigned a fitness app that increased user retention by 340%. This project taught us how small design changes create big differences in how people use apps daily.
Team Expansion
Growing demand led us to expand our team with specialists in user research and accessibility. We now handle more complex projects while maintaining our personal touch.
Next Chapter
Launching our design education program and expanding our expertise in emerging technologies. We're excited to share what we've learned with the next generation of designers.
