About
A two-person design studio for AI products, led by Likitha
Studio Infer designs product, UX and brand for funded and YC-backed AI startups in the US, Europe and India. It is led by its founder, Likitha S, and based in Bengaluru, India, working across PST, CET and IST.
We take on two projects at a time and three at the most. No roster of clients, no delegated work, no black-boxed authority.
Founder
Likitha S, founder
Seven years of product design. What I am insanely good at is breaking down complex problems and workflows into consumable experiences. That is why you see mostly technical products in my work.
Building a good product takes a few tries, revisions, iterations and complaints. I promise to stick through it all until the noise has settled.
How we work
Understand the problem
We read your tickets, sit in your calls, and watch people use what you have now. The brief usually changes by the end of it.
Prototype with Claude
Claude gets a working version standing up in days. Arguing about a real screen beats arguing about a description of one.
Test and feedback
It goes in front of the people who will actually use it. We write down where they hesitate, not only what they tell us.
Polish and hand off
Every state, every edge case, and a file your engineers can build from without asking us what we meant by it.
Branding runs with Public Knowledge Studio, so your identity and your product get made alongside each other, not one after the other.
Working with us
Booking projects for Q1 2027
We're booked through 2026. A half-hour call and a short written scope is how you hold a start date.
Projects from $8k
Two ways to work with us: a fixed-scope project with a price that doesn't move, or a monthly retainer, month to month with 30 days' notice.
PST, CET and IST
Remote with founders in the US, Europe and India, with a fixed weekly review slot and a private Slack channel.
Built with your engineers
Design and build run together so what launches is what was designed. You get tokens and components, not a folder of flat files.
