A design studio forbrand, productand the codethat ships them.

HALFTURN · EST. 2016 · LISBON ↔ OSLO ↔ MONTRÉALLIS --:--:--

Four designers who also write the code.

Halfturn works between Lisbon, Oslo and Montréal. We shape brand identities and build the websites, products and AI interfaces that carry them. The people who design a thing are the people who ship it, so what launches is what was designed.

How a project runs01 / 04
Week 1 · fixed fee

One week, one room.

Every project starts with a paid five-day sprint: interviews with your team and customers, an audit of what already exists, and a written brief we both sign before any design starts.

Studio

Projects run end to end inside the studio, from the first interview to the code that ships. We take on four at a time, so the people you meet in week one are the people who launch it.

Most of our clients come back. Northlane is on its third year, Oda on its second collection, and the design system we built for Sundial now runs three products.
