Motka Design team is 21 years old and is still run by the same four people who built it.
Where we come from
Motka started in April 2005, when Phil, Maria and Natasha left a major online newsroom and built the studio around one decision: design only, no development.
The roots go deeper. Phil, Maria and Elena met in the demoscene in 1998, on the dawn of digital graphic design. First web sites we have started to build in 1999.
11 years later, in 2016 we have moved our business in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and opened Motka d.o.o. for international clients. Today the team works remotely from different locations across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
How long we stay
The numbers we are most proud of are not conversion lifts. They are years. Our longest client relationships run 13 and 12 years. A lot of our clients have been with us for over 5 years. Most of them started as a single fixed-scope project.
A studio does not get relationships like these by winning pitches. We got them by being useful today the same way we were useful in month one.
How we work
We take 3–4 big projects at a time. Not because we can't staff more, but because the founder works on every one, and that number is where his attention stays real.
The process is iterative: weekly cycles, intermediate drafts before the final, up to 3 revisions per screen. Decisions are made with you in-process, not presented as completed fact.
We like to work together with clients and exchange ideas. We do peer reviews between designers. Design is a collaborative sport.
