Committed to your users, forever.
At MN Studio, empathy meets skill everyday. We bring to the table, a decade’s worth understanding of users and their evolving needs. Blend it up with our design process, and you have a product that’s lightweight, sticky and accessible - the perfect cocktail for a founder’s ‘on the rocks’.
Meet the Team
No extraordinary rags to riches story here. 😊
We began as 2 simple girls willing to help, we are still the same. The ways we can help, are ever evolving though. Our journey as designers began with the sole aim of filling in gaps in communication between businesses and their users. We jumped into the endless ocean that user experience is, and are apparently still falling towards somewhere increasingly beautiful. Over time, we realised our values and vibe mirrored those of pre-seed, seed and early stage start-ups…..and that, we were happiest when we were knee deep in finding solutions to complex B2B SaaS problems.
So now, that’s what we do - design experiences for B2B SaaS start-ups in different industries and domains.We have had the fortune to work with amazing people and businesses till date and we take pride in a 95% client retention rate.
Nope! no lies and deceitful traps there. Get in touch with us and we will be happy to give references you can talk to.

Quick-paced environments, chaos and hustle - We love everything start-ups.
Honestly, we have worked with all of the - startups, scale-ups and enterprises. Eventually we figured out, we vibe best when we are vibing with small teams. We function best when have autonomy and we perform best when there’s deep thinking work to be done in every possible direction.
So, pre-seed, seed and early stage start-ups seem to be the best fit with us. We are industry agnostic, though we spend no second thoughts before saying yes to sustainability, social impact and mental health projects. By rule, we exit when you grow beyond 10 people.
Values we live by
Empathy
Connecting on a deeper level is of paramount importance to our performance. Connecting with you, as much as connecting with your audience. We listen well, understand thoroughly and connect deeply.
Balance
There is no optimum without the constraints. We breathe this philosophy. An absolute essential to startup culture, we hone and encourage the skill to balance out performance and limitations. We believe, nothing is ideal. It’s just the best possible.
Frugality
When you are starting or just taking off, how you optimise your resources matter - your funds, your people and your time. Spend on what you need, not what you want. And over the years, we have imbibed this into our daily lives.
Flexibility
Rigidity is the murderer of great ideas. Whether or not you have ideal in terms of time, funds, wisdom, or guidance, we strive towards finding what works for you the best. We keep our must-have’s loose, so your can-have’s can we woven tightly.
Collaboration
The more collective thinking your people can do, the better your chances to succeed. We encourage people wearing multiple hats and we entertain opinions, even when they don’t match ours. We prioritise perspectives to hierarchy.
Far-sightedness
Friends and family call us over-thinkers. Yet, this ability to fore-see, plan and prepare, has saved us years worth of wasted time and efforts. We keep a close eye on opportunities and hiccups, so we can pivot just when the time is right.
Design principles we operate by
-
Users first always
Users needs, their wants and expectations and their frustrations are our design brief. Everything we do, must revolve around bringing value to the end user.
-
Balance the business and users
Your users and your business decisions are a sort of marriage. Each one impacts the other. The secret to a sustainable one lies in hitting the middle ground.
-
Less is more
This goes in tandem with our value of frugality. If UX can be improved using one component design why make it flashy or crowded with multiple beautiful ones?
