Symonym Design is an independent studio. It makes and sells original apps, starting with Tasquel for iPhone and iPad, and partners with founders and teams to build theirs.
Designed, built and sold by the studio. Each one starts with an everyday frustration worth fixing.
A weekly checklist that plans one week at a time.
Sort tasks into categories and choose what each one does when the week ends: carry over until it’s done, repeat every week, or stay put. Each new week builds itself from the last.
Coming soon to the App Store
One process runs every project, in-house or in partnership: understand the problem, design the whole thing, build it properly, then keep improving it.
Find the specific, everyday frustration and who has it, before deciding what to build.
Flows, interface, icon and brand, designed together so the product feels like one piece.
Real code on the real platform, small enough to ship and solid enough to grow.
Release early, listen to the people using it, and keep making it better.
Alongside its own products, Symonym Design takes on a small number of collaborations with founders, teams and fellow makers.
Shape it, design it and build it, or pick up just the part that’s stuck. Projects work best with a real problem to solve and room to do it well.
Share the product, the problem it solves and where it’s stuck. Questions about the apps are welcome too.
