✱ Design should bring joy and trust. 

You bring the vision. We build the brand or product that makes it real.

For founders who know their business could go further — but aren’t sure how.

We don’t just design apps, products, and brands. We take what matters most to you, remove the weight from your shoulders, and build something people remember, trust, and feel.

No fluff. No ego. Just clarity, ownership, and outcomes you’re proud to stand behind.

✱ You want to launch strong — and feel proud of what you’ve built.
✱ Your brand should build trust, not just look good.
✱ Your website should feel effortless — for you and your users.
✱ You’re ready to refresh what’s not working — and get it right.
✱ You want to hand it over — and know it’ll be done right, without chasing.

Design that earns trust, feels right, and quietly delivers more than expected.
	•	Clear. Fast. Memorable.
	•	Built to work — and wow.
	•	Trusted across time zones, cultures, and industries.

Founder

Kyugo

Acquired by Anders Laederich.

A breakthrough in the world of productivity apps.

Your Time, Your Rules, Your Life.

There has been no innovation in how calendars work for more than 30 years. Spreadsheet-like interfaces could be fine to create a meeting, but are simply not enough to plan your life. 

You don't always plan for every moment of your day, do you? The unexpected tab you open, the unplanned time spent reading - these are moments that subtly shift your daily agenda. To-do lists exist in a world where life's random, chance encounters are not accounted for. Yet, our most extraordinary power as humans is to adapt, to prioritize moments that truly matter in life. Too often, our freedom to customize our daily tasks is penalized in contemporary task applications.

Kyugo allows you to customize your day to what your life and its tasks mean to you. Visualize your day your way, not be dictated by what your phone tells you to do. Remember, you have the power to define what a task is.

Time is a manmade construct, and everyone should have the power to define it on their own terms. Don't let your day control you. Take control of your day.

So after years of testing and research, 
we’re thrilled to introduce Kyugo*.

Tom Garcy

Helping B2B impact-driven startups go from 0 to 1 — turning early-stage ideas into real, valuable digital products. My background spans user research, product strategy, design, and engineering leadership, with a strong focus on frameworks like Jobs to be Done and Shape Up.

Over the years, I’ve partnered with founders and early teams to validate ideas, define scope, and build customer-centric products that solve real problems. Whether it’s creating the first clickable prototype or leading iterative development, I work hands-on to reduce guesswork and increase clarity.

Beyond product work, I mentor impact-focused entrepreneurs navigating the earliest and often messiest stages — helping them shape the right product and avoid building the wrong thing.

From bootstrapping to exit in a wine distribution business

I’ll be hosting Šárka Betke, founder of vinofactum, for a Business Stories conversation.

Since 2020, Šárka has built a profitable wine distribution business around uniquely sourced natural wines from Central and Eastern Europe, reaching over 1M € in revenue without external funding.

We’ll explore bootstrapping decisions, sourcing beyond famous regions, pricing discipline, and what it actually takes to prepare a business for exit.

Fractional Product Leader for impact-driven companies. Podcast host and community builder.

The YouTube video of this conversation is now published.

I sat down with Marv Shamma, founder of Základní škola FLOW, to talk about building a school where kids love learning and feel supported.

We speak about project-based learning, helping children think for themselves, using technology to create instead of consume, and how schools can prepare kids for a changing world.
