Make 2024 the year of the unicorn!

Illustration by the author. With some Midjourney help.

Get started!

2024 was a big year for Sharpen: Our leadership team doubled and we did some amazing work for Marriott Bonvoy (with Block+Tackle), MasterLock Europe (with Laughlin Constable), Conga, and some exciting startups—ranging from MarTech to longevity spaces and many more, in between.

Busy as we are, we have some availability for our Unicorn Invasion design sprints coming up in February and March. Companies and products—new and old—can benefit enormously from research-informed product-design services, especially when done quickly and with veteran expertise.

Grab one these spots before they fill up!

Grab a time slot on my calendar and let's chat. Even if this isn't the right time or offer for you, I'd love to catch up and to see how my team might make your team more successful in the coming year.


What some our 2023 clients have to say…

 
 

I was very impressed with the level of detailed thought and best-practices recommendations the Sharpen team put into all of the work they shared with us. They skillfully maintained existing functionalities and design elements while innovatively expanding the project's scope.

The team was highly agile when it came to accomplishing their tasks, and internal stakeholders were particularly impressed with the team's dynamic and collaborative approach.

We needed someone to communicate high-level C-suite concepts with intelligent design. It was a difficult task but the end result was impressive and Sharpen was diligent in maintaining our deadlines. The CEO was really impressed. It doesn't get much better than that.

The startup landscape has changed.

Measurable usability and customer experience are the key differentiators separating good products from exceptional investments. But it’s almost impossible to find business-savvy design consultants who understand the full-product lifecycle—from the needs of a pre-seed startup to the customer- and employee-experience challenges of a game-changing market leader and a lucrative exit.

This is why startup investors, founders, and enterprise intrapreneurs choose Sharpen Partners. Our team of veteran product designers draw on diverse careers in research, technology, architecture, business, and the arts to assemble 
the perfect team for your new or re-imagined product.

Contact Sharpen for a free remote consultation with our product-design leaders to see how we bring ideas to life 
and transform them into results.
