DesignMe in New York, in short

Updated

DesignMe is a design and development agency headquartered in Gdańsk, Poland, six hours ahead of New York, with no New York office. For Quotient, an AI-native marketing platform in New York, we have been the embedded product design partner for 18+ months, across brand, website, pitch deck and product. New York clients also include Cluely, SPLX, OpenSincera and RecruitU. Designers on US accounts work until 21:00 in Gdańsk, so we share 9:00 to 15:00 Eastern, every weekday.

Case study · New York

From one brand project to an embedded product design partner

Quotient

  • Seed

2024-current

Building the digital foundation for an AI-native marketing platform in an ongoing partnership

Quotient builds an agentic marketing platform: AI agents that plan campaigns and create email, social posts and blog content with a marketing team. What began as a brand and website project in 2024 became an embedded design partnership of 18+ months, across the brand, the website, the pitch deck, the product and marketing. New features now ship with their product screens and website sections designed together.

New York buyer topics

Two rules New York sites run into most often

Accessibility suits and a new price label. Each links to its source.

  • Accessibility lawsuits

    Plaintiffs filed 3,117 website accessibility lawsuits in US federal courts in 2025, and 1,021 of them in New York, more than any other state. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, and every page is checked for accessibility, contrast and keyboard use before launch.

    Seyfarth Shaw, 27 Mar 2026Checked

  • Algorithmic price labels

    Since 10 November 2025, a price set by an algorithm using a shopper’s personal data must carry the line “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data” (General Business Law 349-a). If your checkout personalises prices, we design the label in.

    Jones Day, Nov 2025Checked

We design and build to these rules. We are not lawyers: your legal or compliance team signs off on the wording.

Do you have an office in New York?

No. Our whole team works from our HQ in Gdańsk, Poland, and we have partners in London. We work with New York companies such as Quotient and Cluely over video calls, Slack, Figma and GitHub.

How many hours of our day do you cover?

Six, 9:00 to 15:00 Eastern. Our core team works 9:00 to 17:00 in Gdańsk, which is 3:00 to 11:00 in New York, and designers on US accounts stay until 21:00, 15:00 your time. In the clock-change weeks (25 to 31 Oct 2026 and 14 to 27 Mar 2027) it is seven, 9:00 to 16:00.

Which New York companies have you worked with?

Quotient, Cluely, SPLX, OpenSincera and RecruitU. Cluely moved its HQ from San Francisco to New York in late 2025, SPLX is now part of Zscaler, and The Trade Desk acquired Sincera in 2025. Quotient has a full case study.

Can you work as an embedded design partner?

Yes. Quotient has worked with us that way for 18+ months: what began as a brand and website project now covers the pitch deck, the product and marketing, and new features ship with their product screens and website sections designed together.

Do you work with teams elsewhere in New York State?

Yes. We work remotely from Gdańsk, so a team anywhere in New York State, or on the East Coast, gets the same 9:00 to 15:00 Eastern overlap and the same process.

Do you price in US dollars?

Yes. Our monthly plans and project prices are published in US dollars, and we invoice in dollars. We can sign an NDA before you share private materials.

Who will I talk to?

Adrian Kuleszo, our founder, takes every intro call himself, between 10:00 and 15:00 your time. Once we start, a project manager is your single point of contact.

What does it cost to work with DesignMe?

Design or development starts at $6,000 a month, and full design and development starts at $10,000 a month. SEO and AEO or CRO add from $3,000 a month each. Fixed projects start with a $2,500 UX audit, and our launch packages run from $15k.

How fast can you start?

Usually within a few days. If you need to move this week, tell us on the first call and we’ll plan around it.
