Products thattake the strain.
Tensile is a design and engineering studio for SaaS, fintech and AI companies. We take products from first sketch to launch, and stay for what comes after.
The studio
Fourteen designers and engineers in one room. We write the strategy, design the interface and ship the code ourselves, so nothing is lost between the deck and the deploy.

What we do
Four disciplines under one roof. Most projects use two or three of them.
01Product design
From discovery workshops to a clickable prototype and a production design system. We design the whole product, not only the screens people see first.
- Research and discovery
- UX flows and prototypes
- Interface design
- Design systems
02Sites and apps
Marketing sites and web apps built on Astro and a headless CMS. Fast by default, easy for your team to edit, and ready to rank in search and in AI answers.
- Strategy and copy
- Design
- Build
- Search and AI
03Engineering
Production front-end and back-end work, from design systems in code to AI features. The people who designed the product build it, so nothing is lost in handover.
- Front-end
- Design systems in code
- APIs and integrations
- AI features
04Brand and motion
Identities, motion systems and launch assets for technology companies. We design the brand to live inside the product, not only in the pitch deck.
- Identity
- Motion system
- Launch assets
- Brand in product
How a project runs
Twelve weeks from kickoff to launch for most products, with a fixed quote after week two.
Weeks 1-2
Discover
Workshops, interviews and a teardown of what you have. You get a written plan and a fixed quote.
Weeks 3-6
Design
Flows first, then the interface, in weekly reviews. Every screen comes from one shared design system.
Weeks 6-12
Build
Production code from week six, on a staging link you can open every Friday.
Week 12 and on
Launch and stay
We launch with you, watch the numbers and stay on a monthly retainer if you want us to.
“Tensile shipped our new onboarding in nine weeks. Activation went from 31 to 47 percent in the first month, and their code is still the cleanest in our repo.”
