Launch Missions

Whether you’re a nimble startup or a large organisation, launch missions provide the support and expertise you need to shape, refine, and turn early stage ideas into reality.

Rescue Missions

Get underperforming or outdated projects back on track. From feature optimisation to full redesigns we’ll help you quickly diagnose issues and get your project from flat to thriving quickly.

Missions with a Mission

You’re driven to make a difference, make it count. We partner with teams focused on social good projects to amplify the reach of important missions and create work that drives impact.

Codename Design entered into our project midstream, but through their strategic vision and ability to implement clear and focused design, to the pixel, analyzing and understanding a project at multiple levels, steered us to a product well beyond our expectations.

About Codename

Codename Design is an award-winning digital product design studio that partners with clients on an ongoing basis to deliver strategy, UX, UI and visual design and product management.

Over the past 15 years we’ve worked with fortune 500 companies, leading nonprofits and category-busting startups to solve complex design challenges. We’ve worked with clients, big and small, on apps and websites for education, healthcare, finance, emerging technologies and more.

We work with teams over the long term as a design partner from early stage conception of projects, through to launch and beyond. We provide the quality and speed of execution you expect from an experienced team. We do everything you‘d expect from a nimble design agency, and even some things you might not.

How it works

Cup of Coffee

Have a virtual (and free) cup of coffee with us and tell us about your project or particular challenge, we’ll decide together if we’re a good fit and how we can best help.

Briefing

We’ll focus on your team, mission and goals and work together to estimate the support you need based on the velocity and complexity of your project.

Scalable Ongoing Support

All the design services you need to accelerate your product, meet your challenges and hit your milestones. Scale up or down instantly as the project evolves.

Design expertise when you need it

Every project is unique, and what you need from a design team changes, sometimes quickly. We’ve got the experience to work in fast-paced, complex environments and adapt as you need. Here are some things we can help with:

Tackle Complex Projects

Clarify complex ideas and get from brilliant (but vague) notions to compelling stories that explore ground-breaking possibilities and get alignment around complex visions and concepts.

Move Faster

If you’re an established team and you want to run a parallel process to test ideas without affecting your core product and engineering team we can move fast, and validate ideas quickly.

Reduce Risk

Bring us in to build prototypes, conduct interviews and research, validate big ideas and initiatives so you can refine and learn before investing fully in innovative projects.
