An independent product design studio

Designed from the roots, up.

Intentional research, considered strategy, and precise UI for founders and start-up teams building something that matters.

What we do

We design products holistically. From first interview to final pixel.

Approach

Intentional, observational, hands-on. Three small acts repeated, project after project.

Listen

We start in the field: interviews, observation, the patient kind of research that surfaces the real problem instead of the obvious one.

Sketch

Strategy and design grow together. We plan and shape the product before we ever open a design or coding tool.

Tend

We stay close after launch: measuring, refining, helping the work take root inside your team.

Selected work

We only take on a handful of client projects each year.

The studio

Forage is a small product design studio working with founders and teams who care about craft.

We bring research, strategy, and design under one roof so the work stays whole. No handoffs, no decks-for-decks. Just collaboration with people building something that matters.

Your design execution is so much clearer for the end user! It's a great foundation and I can't believe how much you've been able to simplify things. Really impressive!

This is pretty damn good! Love the thoroughness in the design system. Truly inspiring — can't wait to start developing these screens, they look amazing!

Oscar Aguilar

CEO, Novel Minds

Forage brings amazing energy and professionalism to every meeting. The leadership throughout the design sprint illustrated both their extensive experience as designers and the ability to adapt to different needs and circumstances.
