FAQ

  • We specialize exclusively in audio product design, bringing over a decade of experience and a deep passion for the industry. Unlike many design agencies that work across various sectors, we focus solely on developing innovative audio hardware. Our expertise spans consumer, professional, and specialized audio domains, ensuring a thorough understanding of the technology, market, and user expectations. Our mission is to create immersive, intuitive, and delightful user experiences that set our clients apart in the competitive audio landscape.

  • Yes. User experience (UX) is an integral part of our industrial design process. As products increasingly feature graphical interfaces, embedded software, and web-based control systems, we ensure that interactions are seamless and intuitive. We apply state-of-the-art UX methodologies combined with our deep industry knowledge, user behavior insights, and UX patterns to craft interfaces that are both functional and engaging.

  • Yes, although we primarily focus on audio, we occasionally take on select projects outside this domain—typically one or two per year. These projects benefit from our unique perspective and our ability to translate complex specifications into engaging user experiences. Since audio is intangible, we have honed our ability to make the intangible tangible, a skill that can add immense value to brands and products beyond audio.

  • Our pricing depends on the project’s scope, timeline, and deliverables. We offer fixed pricing for well-defined projects to ensure timely and on-budget delivery. For projects with evolving requirements, we start with a short discovery phase called "Snapshot." This helps identify uncertainties and refine project scope before proceeding. For the execution phase, we typically work on a time-and-materials basis. While we can adjust to different budget constraints, we emphasize that a successful design process requires time and thoughtful iteration—an investment that enhances product value, customer retention, and market positioning.

  • We ensure full transparency and collaboration throughout the process. You’ll be involved in every decision, and we work in short, iterative cycles to minimize surprises. We don’t disappear for weeks—we become an extension of your team, ensuring the final result aligns with your vision.

  • Fill out our contact form or email us at contact@notation.design with details about your project. We typically respond within 24 hours to schedule an introductory call. To provide the most accurate proposal, we’ll ask about your project goals, audience, budget, timeline, and other key details. Once we assess costs and timelines, we’ll send a proposal for discussion. Nothing is set in stone until you fully understand our process and pricing.
