# alt-shift

> alt-shift is a product design studio for ambitious B2B companies — the tactical alternative to bloated agencies and difficult in-house hires. The studio embeds with your team to untangle difficult problems and design B2B products, taking concepts from 0 to 1 and beyond.

alt-shift is a two-founder studio based in Košice, Slovakia, with roughly 15 years of product design experience per head. It works with a maximum of four active clients at a time, so the founders themselves do the work — no account managers, no juniors executing behind a senior sales pitch.

Typical engagements: zero-to-one product design for founders, continuous product design for teams iterating toward product-market fit, design systems, and supporting pivots or moves upmarket. The studio positions itself against subscription design mills and big-agency overhead: senior people, embedded in your team, shipping real product.

- "alt-shift embraced our early pivots, stayed in the trenches and brought the exact mix of speed and rigor to enable accelerated discovery that saved us months of expensive engineering." — Kirk Donohoe, CEO, Grand
- "Turning the ship from a no-code builder to enterprise sales enablement is hard. With alt-shift, it took us just 8 weeks to take our idea from discovery to a working POC with real users." — Tomas Vasso, CEO, Scene
- "Most studios would've drowned in our domain, but alt-shift doesn't just paint pretty pictures. They went deep and stayed for the long haul, earning the trust to lead our product & design initiative." — Rasto Ivanic, CEO, GroupSolver
