Hold Fast Studio is the design office of Kevin Korpi working with early-stage hardware, software, and AI companies, mostly on 0 → 1 work. Products and systems built before the org has a playbook for either. Craft is assumed, so is fluency from generative AI to canvas to repo. The focus is the calls that shape how a product gets perceived.
Recent Projects
Sprint. A week against one question. A teardown, screens for a new surface, or a prototype real enough to test. Scoped Monday, delivered Friday.
Zero → One. 6-12 weeks. Founding design work. Lands as design files or a repo and functioning prototype. The discipline is design, the build stays yours.
Design Partner. Ongoing. A standing design seat without the hire. Working sessions on live problems, async eyes on everything that ships.
Client spots opening September 2026. Get in early: kevin@holdfast.studio.
