Halcyon · clinician onboarding
Replaced a 9-screen PDF-driven flow with a 3-step path that 92% of pilot clinicians finished unaided.
Product studio · est. 2019
We design and ship the product you keep promising your board.
Atlas is a six-person product studio in Lisbon. We embed with founders for 6–10 weeks, ship a working v1 in 14 days, and stay through the first paying cohort. No decks that age out before the next quarter.

How we work
Three things you'll notice by week two.
A working build on day fourteen
We scope a 14-day vertical slice — one real user flow, end to end — and ship it before we write the second sprint plan.
A weekly changelog, written by us
Every Friday you get a public-style release note — what shipped, what slipped, what we cut. Your investors get to read what you actually built.
Two humans, in your Slack
A designer and an engineer join your standup, your Linear, your Notion. They stay until your team has absorbed the patterns, then they leave.
By the numbers · since 2019
14d
median time to first shipped vertical slice on every engagement since 2022.
38
products shipped to paying customers, including 9 now past Series A.
96%
of founders we embed with hire an internal product designer within 90 days.
Atlas didn't hand us a deck and disappear. They sat in our standup for ten weeks, shipped the thing we kept apologizing for, and wrote the hiring doc so we could replace them.
Recent work
Four products we shipped last quarter.
[ quartzly · billing rewrite ]
Quartzly · usage-based billing
Migrated 1,200 accounts from flat-rate seats to metered billing without a single failed invoice in the first cycle.
[ penumbra · design system ]
Penumbra · token-based design system
A 120-token system that took the product from prototype to a single maintained codebase across web and iOS.
[ loam · co · pos ]
Loam & Co · cafe POS
A tablet-first point-of-sale that cut average checkout time from 47 to 19 seconds across three pilot cafés.
Engagement shape
Six to ten weeks, four phases, no surprises.
You always know what we did this week, what slipped, and what we're cutting. The plan is a living doc in your shared Notion — not a slide deck we hand over in week one and never touch again.
01
Diagnose · 1 week
Two founders, your codebase, your metrics. We write a one-page diagnosis you didn't ask for and don't pay for.
02
Scope · 1 week
One vertical slice, scoped to two-week delivery. We sign what we'll ship in week two before we touch a keyboard.
03
Ship · 2–6 weeks
Weekly Friday demo, weekly Friday changelog, weekly Friday retro. Public-style notes, internal honest ones.
04
Hand off · 1–2 weeks
A Loom for every screen, a hiring doc for your next designer, a written playbook for the patterns we introduced.
Two slots · July 2026
Bring the project you've been apologising for.
A 20-minute call is the fastest way to see if we're the right fit. No pitch deck. No follow-up sequence.
