The studio

Northstar is five people in a converted warehouse in Koregaon Park. We take six clients a year so that every one of them gets the founders' attention. We don't do pitches, retainers we don't believe in, or logos in a day.

Working with us

  1. A 30-minute call to see if we fit.
  2. A short written proposal with a fixed price.
  3. Weekly show-and-tell; you see everything as it happens.
  4. Launch, then a month of support.
