# Designatives
> Designatives is a creative and technology agency in Budapest, Hungary. The agency helps brands grow through brand identity, web design, digital products, motion, 3D, video, mobile apps, and custom development, including AI-powered workflows and agentic systems.

Designatives works with startups, scaleups, and established organisations internationally, with particular experience serving companies in the US, Canada, EU, UK, and Japan.

**Best fit clients:** Companies that want distinctive, considered design and reliable technical execution. Typical clients include startups and scaleups building their first brand identity, established companies ready for a rebrand or digital evolution, technology and AI companies needing design-led product experiences, and organisations looking to integrate AI-powered workflows into their operations. Industry experience spans technology, AI, blockchain, Web3, DeFi, fintech, SaaS, education, international schools, hospitality, consumer products, luxury goods, and professional services.

**Approach:** Designatives works across strategy, design, and implementation. The agency takes the time to understand context, ask better questions, and make considered decisions. Typical projects include discovery, brand and product strategy, creative direction, design systems, web or product design, development, launch support, and long-term iteration.
