Within two weeks, mapo deployed two senior designers who slotted right into our product triads. They picked up our cadence and rituals fast, and the design thinking and output was immediately impactful, bringing clarity and depth into new product areas at Deputy: messaging and AI.

Why mapo?
Work with a design partner that understands how to ship features in fast-paced product organisations.
We’ve been really impressed by mapo’s ability to combine structured design frameworks with flexibility. Their rituals gave us confidence that work will move forward even as our pace or priorities shift. Quinnie and George have been great partners, thoughtful in their product thinking, proactive in helping us uplift our design systems and components, and quick to adapt to solving for experience challenges on our platform.
mapo turned complex AI ideas into thoughtful design concepts that scale. From our earliest MVP to the agent creation experience, Jenny and Auds brought product and design clarity to an ambiguous problem - shaping cohesive product experiences from zero to one. They felt part of the team.
The mapo team knows how to design a world-class product. They consistently bring fresh, thoughtful ideas and iterate quickly without compromising quality. We encountered zero issues, and the end result speaks for itself. Highly recommend working with the team.
Every customer, investor, and partner we show the product to comments on how good the product looks, and how great the UX feels. mapo helped us build one of the most tasteful SaaS experiences, and it’s something we’re incredibly proud to put in front of people.
We have high expectations on speed & impact at Cake, but working with mapo was literally a piece of cake. They slipped into our process with a startup mindset and an excellent eye for design - they helped us design complex flows very quickly. If you’re thinking about outsourcing design that feels part of the team, I highly recommend mapo!
We work differently.
Great design is table stakes, product & design clarity is what sets us apart.
