Design capacity is usually the reason a project slips. GulfStar provides designers across UI/UX, web, landing pages, email and print who work to your brand standards and deliver files your team can present without reworking.

Design is the step everything else waits on, and the first thing to bottleneck when an agency wins a few projects at once. One senior designer can only be in one file at a time.

Hiring ahead of the work is expensive; hiring behind it means turning projects away or shipping something you're not proud to present.

GulfStar gives you designers across every surface — product, web, landing, email, print — who work to your brand standards and hand back organized, presentation-ready files, so design capacity stops setting the ceiling on how much work you can take.

UI/UX Design

Every interface starts as a set of decisions before it's a screen — that's UI/UX Design: user research, flows, wireframes, and the high-fidelity files a developer builds from. Scope is the design artifact, not the code; it hands off to your developers, ours, or the client's.

Our designers work in the client's brand and your design system if one exists, building it out if it doesn't. They design the states real products have — empty, loading, error, edge case — not just the happy path that demos well and falls apart in build.

Files come organized: named layers, a component library, and a prototype the client can click, plus the redlines and tokens a developer needs so nothing gets guessed at in handoff. If your projects stall in the gap between “design approved” and “developer can start,” this closes it.

You present work that looks considered because it was, and hand your developers a file they can build without a dozen clarifying questions. It's senior product design on demand — the kind of hire that's hard to justify full-time until three projects need it at once.

Website & eCommerce Design

The file your team presents is a complete site design — every key template drawn, responsive behavior specified, and the visual system consistent from homepage to checkout — ready to walk a client through without apologizing for placeholders.

Scope is the design of marketing sites and storefronts: information architecture, page templates, the component library, and the responsive rules that decide how it all reflows on a phone. It's the comp and the system, handed to whoever builds it.

Working to your brand standards — or the client's — they design for the platform the build will actually use, so a Shopify project doesn't come back full of sections Shopify can't render. Everything ships under your agency's name; the client sees your studio's work, not a subcontractor's.

Landing Page Design

A landing page has one job — convert the traffic a campaign paid for — and a pretty page that buries the offer fails at it. Scope is the design of single-purpose pages: the hero, the proof, the form, the whole path from ad to action.

Each page gets built around the offer and the funnel it sits in, with the variants a real test needs and responsive files ready for your developer or a page builder. You get pages that respect the media spend pointed at them, turned around fast enough to launch with the campaign instead of a week after it.

Email Design

Most email programs fail on design before they fail on strategy — a template that breaks in Outlook, images that don't load, a layout that collapses on a phone. Email Design is the template system and campaign creative that survive the inbox, not the copy or the sending strategy.

Our designers build modular, tested templates — coded to render across the clients that matter, not just the one they previewed in — and design the ongoing campaign creative that runs through them. They work to your brand or the client's, in Klaviyo, MailChimp, or wherever the program lives.

You get a template system the client's team can actually use and campaign designs that look the same in Gmail and Outlook. This is the design capacity that keeps a lifecycle program shipping on schedule instead of stalling every time a new send needs artwork.

Graphic & Print Design

Brochures, one-pagers, pitch decks, trade-show panels, packaging, the occasional billboard — Graphic & Print Design is everything that isn't a screen. Scope is the design and the print-ready files, including the pre-press details that decide whether a job comes back right.

We set up files with correct bleed, color, and resolution, and package them the way a printer actually needs so nothing gets kicked back. You get files ready for production, not a beautiful PDF that turns out to be RGB at 72 dpi. It's the discipline agencies quietly lose money on when it's handed to someone who only designs for screens.
