We help our clients show the world how amazing their businesses are through timeless visual systems and working strategies. We deliver the complete package, including logos, color schemes, typography and usage guidelines in beautiful and comprehensive brand books.
When we're not fighting evil half pixels, we build crazy good apps and websites. Wireframes, pixel perfect designs and interactive prototypes that are so amazing you can't stop playing with. That's what we do. Developers love working with us and we love working with developers.
Crafted by hand or meticulously perfected at zoom levels you won't believe exist, illustration work made with love is our special sauce. In a grey world made of stock content, we make brand assets, apps, products, packages and interiors shine with original artwork.
We work with, not for our clients. Our goal is to help their businesses grow trough great design. We are not artists. Every decision we make must serve its purpose.
Most Fortune 500 brands rely on functional and visual minimalism and that is not a coincidence. Simple "I could have done that" solutions are what we aim for in our work.
Every pixel, millimeter, color, div, page, animation or symbol is born equal. We are obsessed with the smallest details. The day we consider them unimportant is the day we close business.
Working on functionality, strategy and aesthetics as three separate entities is not our thing. We believe great design should look just as amazing as it performs.
We can’t give answers before being asked questions. Exceptional results require your honesty and commitment. Talk to us and share your fears. A great brief is not enough.
“Let’s build something like this” is not a great way to start working with us. We don’t use templates, stock icons or other people’s work. Don’t make us do that.
Everyone is a designer and probably a developer to a certain extent. We do appreciate your insights and ideas, but we have to draw a line. Don’t teach us how to do our job.
If your goal is to deceive your customers, we won’t be a part of it. We’ve terminated contracts because of dark patterns and we’re ready to do it again. Respect your users.
Idealist at heart, Darin has always believed that exceptional design is the strongest weapon of any great brand. Obsessed with functionalism, thoughtful simplification, practical minimalism and all things digital, he is The Crazy Ones' code and usability focused half.
Kalina has been drawing and painting longer than she can remember. After a sweet love affair with fine arts, she logically moved into practical illustration and branding. She is often called a hopeless romantic, but still believes great design can truly move the world forward.
The Crazy Ones is a small laser-focused design shop set on helping smart companies create great brands, products and strategies.
After working for various agencies and corporations, we felt we needed a place where we can produce more honest work, building respectful and purposeful relationships with hand-picked clients. A few hundred cups of coffee later, The Crazy Ones was born.
We enjoy working with startups and large-scale corporations whose values align with our own, but we also love investing time in our own products and brands.
