Spacefarm is a multidisciplinary design and front-end shop. We're focused on digital products, design systems and branding. Our name used to be The Crazy Ones↗. Full site coming soon.
Currently working on
A platform for hackathons
Hackathons are an amazing way to make ideas happen. Organizing them and finding a diverse set of people is not easy though. We're helping an early-stage startup design and build v1 of their product.
A design system
😶NDAA color tool↗
Our first open-source product is already in the making. Wouldn’t it be great if you could re-color a whole design system just by tweaking a few values in an easy to use in-browser responsive UI with no coding required? We hope it’s coming later this year.
A React layout library
Layout in React can be tackled in so many ways, so we decided to introduce some more fatigue to the JavaScript game. 😜 We’re planning to open-source our internal constraints and sizing tool later this year.
Improved↗
Nobody likes to be the whiny person on Twitter who keeps being mad at poorly-done software. Yet, we felt like we were that person far too often. This year, we are revitalizing our old project Improved with new authors and new, more diverse topics and formats.
Recent work
BB-Team↗
We had the opportunity to work with the leading local health and fitness portal. We shipped a complex atomic design system with hundreds of front-end components and built a couple of new features and user flows. We also worked on a new visual design language and an illustration guideline.
CMS template for Netlify↗
We ❤️-ed Netlify before we had the chance to work together. A few months ago, we shipped the first template for Netlify’s open-source static site CMS. We created an imaginary coffee business, built a brand and visual language around it and designed a small CMS-integrated Hugo website with real content.
Proctest design system↗
Proctest is a large-scale language testing tool used by NATO and the US Army. We’ve worked on multiple projects with their team over the years. Last year, we finally had the chance to build a front-end design system for the product’s upcoming update.
Kutia.bg↗
This small and dedicated team offers a subscription box filled with healthy organic snacks. We helped them develop their brand and illustration style.
Time Heroes↗
Time Heroes is a platform for volunteering and doing good. We helped by designing and developing a campaign website targetted towards students and teachers.
Consentio
We did some web and branding work for Consentio, the team behind Telepat. A full case study on Telepat is coming soon.
Dribbble↗
While we're building our full site, keep up with our latest work on Dribbble.
Medium↗
We love writing and we're trying to do it more often. Check out our posts on Medium while we're working on our new blog, hosted right here.
What we do
Full-stack product design
After a thorough consideration and alignment of all the variables that (will) make your product successful, we shift our efforts into producing fast, straightforward and easy to use apps and websites. We cover the whole digital product design stack - from ideation and general feature exploration to production-ready front-end code or hi-fi prototypes.
UX research and strategy
We help our clients come up with actionable strategies in order to achieve better product-market fit. We can provide tailor-made market and UX research to help inform future product decisions. We believe data, research and listening to your customers are vital for all product decisions.
Front-end development
We build robust production-ready interface systems with a focus on the web and design systems. A product’s UI should be understandable for the end user. A product’s design and code should be easy to reason about and modify for the designers and developers who’ll pop the trunk when we’re not around.
Branding
We work closely with founders and teams to build strong brands that reflect their values and aspirations. We know that finding and maintaining the right identity for your brand is crucial. Whatever the scale of your business, we’ll create a detailed branding system and a fool-proof style guide for future use.
Illustration
Great product illustration often speaks the users' language better than anything else. Complicated instructions are made fun, mundane interactions become memorable and your product is easy to use and trust. We harness illustration’s superpowers to create unique artwork for your brand or build a comprehensive guide for future collaborators.
Documentation & UX copywriting
The importance of responsible wording has never been so big. That’s why we offer the full stack of writing-related services - from tone of voice guideline development to mindful UX copywriting. And we produce killer documentation. We’ve done work for both global and hyper-local products.
