One team
Designed and shipped by the same two hands. No agency layers, no producer chain.
The studioEst. 2024
A small room,
by design.
Telic is an independent design & development studio working with a handful of ambitious brands each year. We believe the best work happens when the people designing it are also the people building it — so we don't split the team, hand off the files, or subcontract the craft.
We ship websites, brand systems, and the tools teams run themselves. Every engagement is led end-to-end by the people whose names appear on the invoice — which means decisions are fast, arguments are real, and the work we deliver is the work we'd keep on our own reel.
One quarter
One new engagement per quarter. Everyone else gets real timelines or a referral.
One bill
Fixed-fee, project-based. No retainers, no hourly meters, no surprise invoices.
