Byggstart

Byggstart matches homeowners with quality contractors. They had the product and the traction, but the brand and website hadn't kept up. In collaboration with Cherry, we fixed that

FjordSauna Merch

The main FjordSauna brand is calm and minimal. The merch needed different energy. A streetwear-inspired merch line with its own mascot, Knut. Designed to be worn, not forgotten in a drawer.

Logo Design

A logo that works at 16 pixels and billboard scale without looking lost. Built to feel like you, not like it fell out of a template pack.

Visual Identities

Colors, typography, guidelines that keep everything recognizable. Your brand should look and feel like you.

Websites

Framer sites and landing pages that tell your story clearly. Fast, editable by you, no developer required for headline changes.

Growth Design

Landing pages and ad creatives focused on conversion. On-brand, no endless debates about button psychology.

Print Design

Packaging, brochures, business cards that look like yours. Physical brand presence in the places where screens don't reach.

Light Motion Design

New

Subtle web and social animations. Logo reveals, transitions, nothing requiring NASA-level rendering.

Hiring designers doesn't have to be complicated

Design work doesn't arrive on schedule. Some weeks you need an hour for a pitch deck. Other weeks you're launching and need everything, brand, landing pages, ads, the works.

Most options are bad. Hire full-time and pay for empty weeks. Go project-based and explain your brand to a stranger every time, wait for quotes, start from zero.

There's a better way.

Design that fits the way you work

Same designer. Same work. Same quality. The only difference is speed. Chill gives you hours to use whenever you need them, no rush, no expiry. Rush puts you at the front of the queue when everything's happening at once. Pick what fits. Switch when it doesn't.

Sporadic needs. A pitch deck here, some ad creatives there, a landing page next month.

Same designer. Same quality. Different rhythms.

Both options get you fourteen years of experience. Same strategic thinking. Same person who remembers what your company does and why it matters. Same work that ships without endless revision rounds.

The only difference is cadence. Retainer for sporadic needs. Subscription for ongoing work.

You can also switch freely between them. Start with hours, move to subscription when things accelerate. Or run subscription during a launch, then switch to hours after. The model follows your reality.

Who this will work for

Businesses ready to look like they mean it

You've been running for a while. Revenue's real. Customers keep coming back. But your brand still looks like something you put together on a weekend, because that's exactly what it was. It worked when you were small. Now you're competing for contracts that go to whoever looks most established.

Suggested

Suggested

Rush to fix the foundation, the brand, the website. Chill for whatever comes after

Agencies who need another pair of hands

Your client roster grew faster than your team. You're turning down work or stretching everyone thin or hiring freelancers who need more management than doing it yourself. You don't need another employee. You need capacity that shows up when projects land and disappears when they don't.

Suggested

Suggested

Rush when deadlines are stacking up. Chill for ongoing overflow.

Startups that are past the scrappy phase

You shipped the product. Found your market. What matters now is you're past the point where "founder-designed" is charming and into the phase where it's a liability. Investors want to see you've got it together. Customers need to trust you'll be around next year.

Suggested

Suggested

Rush for the rebrand and website. Chill for growth materials after.

What others have to say

"Juho is an awesome designer! We hired him to cover some key website projects and support our design team for 6+ months. In that time, Juho delivered high-quality responsive websites that helped us to attract new users and convert our existing user base."

Hey, I'm Juho.

I've been designing brands and websites for fourteen years. I've worked with companies like Lufthansa and T-Mobile, venture-backed startups, local businesses, and everything in between.

I started Boldout because the traditional agency model is broken for most businesses. Six-figure retainers. Three-month commitments. Endless scope documents. It doesn't need to be that complicated.

Good design should be accessible, transparent, and flexible. Buy hours or subscribe by the week. No contracts, no surprises. If you need design help and you're tired of overcomplicating it, get in touch and I'll start tomorrow.

What's your capacity like?

I work with a handful of clients at once. When full, there's a waitlist. Not playing games, just being realistic about doing good work instead of fast work. If you need someone today, get in touch or purchase Rush.
