Lost
December 12, 2025
This year, Artasaka revenue grew by 359%.
People received bonuses almost every month. At some point, we found ourselves casually talking about a team trip to a villa in Cyprus.
I’m not sharing this to flex. I’m recording what happens when obsession meets the right group of people.
Artasaka is now a studio of eight. Every person here cares deeply about the craft.
We helped founders raise significant seed capital. We’re the entire design department for a fast-growing startup partnering with Intel. We contributed to a new kind of food culture in New York, designing the systems behind a smart restaurant concept.
In simple terms, we helped a lot of people make a lot of money. But none of that came from chasing metrics or playing agency games.
Because I don’t see Artasaka as a traditional design agency. It’s closer to a collective of people working on what they obsess about, and moving toward a shared standard.
Mission is and always will be to make world-class design, build unbreakable code, and tell the best stories.
My goal for the future is that Artasaka will be the place someone turns to when they’re thinking about starting a company, not just for how things look, but for how everything works. A big part of that future is internal. We’re building in house software to support how we design, collaborate, and scale, without burnout, and without cutting corners.
Next year: Expanding the team. Expanding the clients. Expanding the services.
Raising the bar, without losing the culture that got us here.
