We've reimagined how great design happens. No pitches. No proposals. No project management theater. Just exceptional work from senior designers who become an extension of your team.
[Our Approach]
Traditional agencies perfected the art of the pitch. We perfected the art of the work. When you need design that moves at the speed of your ambition, you need a different kind of studio.

Alex West
Founder & Creative Director
After 15 years in traditional agencies, I saw the same problems repeatedly. Talented designers spending more time in meetings than creating. Clients paying for process instead of progress. Great ideas dying in revision purgatory.
So I built Mugen differently. No endless meetings, no office politics, no pitches that promise everything. Just talented designers doing what they do best.
We create design that actually solves problems. We're obsessive about the details because that's what our clients pay us for. To care as much as they do.
That's the Mugen way. Simple, but not easy.

From day one, they got what we were trying to do—make solar feel accessible, human, and forward-looking. The rebrand has completely reshaped how we show up in the market.
They brought so much nuance to the brand—mystery, elegance, and a really rich visual language. It’s exactly what we hoped for, and then some.
We wanted a brand that felt honest and connected to nature, but still premium. What we ended up with feels like us in every way—our customers even comment on it.

What’s the difference between a subscription and a custom project?
The subscription is ongoing and flexible — ideal for continuous design needs. Custom projects are one-time, fixed-scope engagements for larger goals like a rebrand or product launch.
How fast is the turnaround?
Most requests are delivered within 1–2 business days. Larger tasks may take longer, but you’ll always be kept in the loop.
How many requests can I make?
As many as you like — with a subscription, you can queue unlimited requests, and they’ll be handled one at a time in priority order.
What types of design do you handle?
Websites, product UI, landing pages, brand assets, decks, social media visuals — anything digital that needs to look and feel sharp.
What tools do you use?
Figma for design, Notion for task management, and Slack or email for async communication.
Can I pause the subscription?
Yes — you can pause anytime and resume when you’re ready. Unused days roll over.
Do you offer development too?
Joris focuses on design only, but all deliverables are dev-ready. He can also recommend trusted no-code or Webflow/Framer developers if needed.
