Introducing Cene Studio

Cene Studio is a new type of creative partner. We bring design and technology together, delivered through our own platform with transparent, fixed pricing. Alongside the services we offer, we're building brand software clients use after delivery to apply their brand everywhere it needs to show up: sales, marketing, product, every customer touchpoint. Tooling and brand infrastructure built for how products actually get made today.

The name comes from the Greek kainos (καινός), meaning new. Products are getting easier to build, and more will ship in the years ahead than ever before. The bottleneck has moved from code to experience: creating something that delights customers and sets a product apart. That's why original creative work matters.

We started Cene because the traditional way of buying design - RFPs, pitches, six-figure retainers - locks out most of the businesses that need it. So we rebuilt how to deliver design.

What we do

Our founding team built their careers inside London's top design agencies and global institutions. We bring design and creative expertise alongside data, software, and commerce skills, an unusual combination for a design studio. We are designers who think in systems and technologists who care about craft.

We use AI internally to explore more concepts and move faster through ideation, never to replace the creative process. Every decision that shapes your brand is made by designers with decades of experience.

Four core services. Naming, brand identity, templates, and websites. Each one is scoped, priced, and published on our website. No proposals, no discovery calls to unlock a quote. You see what you get and what it costs before committing a single dollar.

Modular by design. Every service stands on its own. Start with a name. Add a brand identity when you're ready. Layer in templates and a website when the time is right. Or pick a package: a bundle of the four services at a reduced rate, giving you everything in one step, delivered from six weeks.

Beyond one-off projects. Agencies sell retainers for ongoing work. We think there's a better model, closer to Service as Software than billable hours. Something we're working on.

Delivered as code

Our websites are crafted in Next.js and TypeScript. No templates, page builders, or drag-and-drop tools pretending to be custom. Every site is bespoke, engineered to perform, and delivered as production-ready code you own entirely.

The same principle extends to brand systems: design tokens that sync with your codebase, component libraries engineers pull from directly, assets versioned and deployed like software. Design that works the way modern products get built.

The Studio Console

Behind every project is our proprietary platform, the Studio Console. One place for everything.

Contracts, briefs, creative reviews, revisions, approvals, invoices, final assets - all in one place. Our briefing forms are distilled from decades of agency experience; they ask the questions that matter and dig into what makes your business unique. Clients submit briefs, review work, leave feedback, and approve deliverables without ever leaving it.

More to come on top of it: web-based presentations that replace static PDFs, living asset libraries, brand infrastructure delivered through MCP integrations.

How we operate

Three principles guide how we work.

Transparency. Our pricing is on our website. Flat fees, no hidden costs, no surprise invoices.

Speed. First creative concepts within weeks. Full projects delivered in months, not quarters. AI-augmented workflows let our senior designers explore more and iterate faster.

Craft. Senior designers on every project from day one. No handoffs to junior teams, no AI generating your brand.

We want to be your design partner for the long term, without the overhead of a traditional agency. If you're investing in your brand, we'd love to hear from you.
