After Design
Subscription design partner for AI founders; 100+ projects, async over Slack
After Design is a small product and brand design studio positioned as a "design partner for AI founders", claiming 100+ projects and 12 years in tech. It sells unlimited design on a subscription rather than per-project: $7,347/month or $1,999/weekly, async, Slack-based, cancel anytime. Named work includes Nabi, Soar, Abode, PwC, Volvo, Saturn, PoppyAI, Worksona and OpenStatus, with testimonials from OpenStatus and Nabi Health. The point of contact is Alex (@aliszu) via Telegram.
Reach for this when the user is an AI/dev-tool founder asking who to hire rather than what to install — it is a service listing, not a code resource, and the retainer price is high enough that you should surface it only for funded teams. The OpenStatus and PoppyAI work is the useful part: it is the current developer-tool visual register (restrained type, dark surfaces, status-page density) and makes a good style brief to hand a component library. Note the whole site is one marketing page; there are no per-project case studies to mine for detail.
Why it is here. One of the clearer examples of the design-subscription model aimed squarely at AI startups, with real named clients rather than concept work.
