From day one, Surge needed more than a brand that looked good. They needed design that built credibility, earned trust, and scaled with them as they grew. They needed a design partner that ensures they stand out in the crowded world of AI infrastructure.
They chose Konpo. More than a vendor, we became their plug-and-play design team: senior talent embedded alongside leadership, shaping everything from their first identity to their website, product, and systems. At every stage, Surge found in Konpo a partner they could depend on.

Our collaboration has become a long-term partnership that helped Surge grow from early explorations to a brand adopted by the leading AI and technology companies and a product internationally recognized and awarded.
We built a bold, distinctive identity in an industry defined by sameness, designed a product experience that balanced delight with enterprise-grade usability, and crafted a design system to keep them consistent as they scaled.
As Surge now looks to fetch a valuation of over $15 billion in its first capital raise, we’re leading phase two of their branding. The goal: to build a brand that not only wins attention and trust, but one that matches the ambition and credibility of a company operating at that scale.

Losing a major long-term client made it clear: ComPsych needed a rebrand built to win. Younger competitors with sharper, design-driven branding were pulling attention away from the world’s largest provider of employee assistance programs (EAPs) — a company supporting over 130 million people across 190 countries.They turned to Konpo to make sure their brand matched their scale and credibility. The mission: win back market share, turn reputation into loyalty, and defend their position at the top.

Every element of the ComPsych rebrand was built to show the strength of a category leader, but for today’s market and tomorrow’s. The new logo centers on a glowing core, with expanding ripples signaling growth, support, and scale. Their signature orange was sharpened with a modern palette designed to stand out with confidence, not noise.But what’s a rebrand without discipline to execute it? We built a dedicated brand hub that gave ComPsych everything — from logos to illustrations to voice — to apply their new identity consistently across 75,000+ organizations worldwide. And we delivered it beyond our original scope.The result: a brand that doesn’t just keep up with the competition, but takes back the lead. With a stronger identity and a system to sustain it, ComPsych now has the edge to defend its dominance and keep winning in a design-driven market.

We partnered up with Nantucket Foundation that aim at bringing the allure of Nantucket's hidden trails to your fingertips. The challenge at hand: crafting an app that not only navigates the island's wild beauty but also captures the essence of every adventurer's spirit.
The scope encompassed redefining how users experience the island's enchanting and preserved trails. We designed and developed an iOS and Android app, ensuring seamless navigation along its trails, community-uploaded photos and clear filters so everyone can find what they like.
This turned into the compass for every Nantucket visit, offering not just navigation but a tailored adventure experience. Our deliverables include an intuitive interactive map, a revamped interface for easy exploration, and a collaborative platform for sharing and celebrating island escapades.

I found this collaboration to be particularly positive not just due to the teams celerity and deep knowledge of design, but rather the patience and confidence with which each feedback was handled. We were very happy with the services and look forward to continued working with them.
They’re committed to customer success and satisfaction. Konpo really listens to input from us. They don’t try to enforce designs that weren’t approved by us. They really focus on delivering a ready product.
Apart from outstanding design, the team at Konpo pointed out major gaps in our business's UX. They not only improved our key metrics, but also helped us optimise and create consistency through the entire platform as we've grown past a few million users. As a fast moving startup, we would highly recommend them - they can keep up with the pace.
They’re always willing to do better and eager to listen to us and change things accordingly — even more so than many of the larger companies. Overall, Konpo has gone beyond expectation.

Collaboration, understanding and more collaboration. We're committed to understanding both our users and our clients' organizations, allowing us to address genuine challenges they face. Collaboration lies at the heart of our process, as we immerse ourselves in problems and collaborate closely to devise user-centric solutions. Our dedication to excellence extends to every aspect of our work, from internal communication to UX and UI design. We prioritize fostering strong relationships with developers, management, and end users alike, ensuring that our designs not only meet but exceed expectations and deliver tangible value. Beyond pretty pixels
From UX design, which focuses on enhancing user experiences, to UI design, which centers on creating intuitive interfaces, we cover every aspect of the design process. Additionally, our expertise extends to motion design, adding dynamic elements to enhance user engagement and visual storytelling. Furthermore, we develop robust design systems that provide consistency and coherence across all facets of our clients' projects.
Product design tends to be an open ended engagement driven by the roadmap. But these are longer-term timelines where dive deep into the problems we're trying to solve. We aim for engagements that span over several quarters.
FIGMA ALL DAY. No joke, its our second home. But other than that we use the full adobe creative suite along with AI tools to support periphery needs. Then depending on the projects, we like to do a lot of user testing, so we rely on the usual suspects for that.
Also slack and notion for smooth communications and documentation.
Product work is generally conducted through retainers, as we firmly believe that successful product design demands a profound understanding, iterative refinement, and robust collaboration with project managers and developers. Through experience, we've realized that short-term engagements don't align with our approach to delivering optimal solutions. We prioritize deeply engaging with users and immersing ourselves in the intricacies of the problems we aim to solve, ensuring that we provide maximum value to our clients. Generally speaking, our engagement rates start at 15,000 USD per month, reflecting our commitment to delivering high-quality, impactful design services.
We’re passionate about what we do, we don’t settle, and we understand what GREAT work looks like to strive towards creating best-in-class design.
If you’re looking for a team that just wants to push pixels, we’re not for you. If you’re looking for a committed team that will push the envelope and aims to deliver value to the organization and the end user, we're a match :)
We're always up for a coffee and a chat,
Send us a message and we'll get back to you!.
