About us About — the two of us
Who are
HEK is a boutique studio of two: a designer and a developer working shoulder to shoulder. No account managers, no handoffs — just the people making your project, start to finish.

The two of us
One team, no .
We're not an agency with account managers between you and the work. You talk to the two people actually designing and building your project — design and development, one continuous line.
Development
Erik Kleiman
Development Lead
Full-stack engineer focused on React, Next.js, and TypeScript. He builds reliable, maintainable apps — from HIPAA-compliant sites to CMS platforms and CI pipelines.
Our difference
What makes us ?
HEK Design Studio was founded on a simple idea: design and development should work together, not in silos. We're a boutique studio that handles everything from strategy and design to development and launch. Small team, focused attention, no handoffs. This approach allows us to move quickly, iterate efficiently, and maintain quality throughout the entire process.
Direct collaboration
You work with the people doing the work — no account managers or middlemen relaying messages.
No handoffs
Design and development happen in tandem, so nothing gets lost in translation between teams.
Small & senior
A deliberately tiny studio means senior attention on every detail, from first call to launch.
How we work
How We Work
A small studio's principles, applied to every project.
Collaboration over silos
We believe the best digital products come from close collaboration between design and development. When these disciplines work together from the start, you get better solutions, faster iterations, and fewer surprises.
Intentionally small
We keep our studio intentionally small. This allows us to stay involved in every project, maintain high standards, and build lasting relationships with our clients.
Outcomes over outputs
Every project is different, so we adapt our process to fit your needs. But our core principles remain the same: clear communication, thoughtful work, and a focus on outcomes over outputs.
Let's build something .
Every project is different. Whether you need a complete redesign or a new build from scratch, we'd love to hear about it.
