Humbleteam
Our job starts where a brand meets a working product. Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system reached production in 4 weeks, and a B2B banking MVP with ING Amsterdam went from zero to a tested product in 5 days.
We’re 49 people in Prague and Dubai who have designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks, studied 30+ healthtech platforms, and run 200+ projects since 2017. On Clutch, 35 reviews give us a 4.9 average rating.
Why product teams pick us over Design Bridge and Partners
Three differences that matter once the brief is a product.
Logitech live in 4 weeks
Logitech’s Logi Dock Flex desk-booking app, website, and design system went into production in 4 weeks. Our ING Amsterdam banking MVP was tested with users after 5 days. On average, the first clickable prototype lands 2 weeks after a signed brief, and we reply to new enquiries within 24 hours.
Interfaces for regulated money products
We’ve designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ major banks: onboarding, KYC, limits, card states, and dispute flows. Our designers also sit inside the in-house teams of 5 YC-backed fintechs. When the brand also needs a product, we design both in one system, as we did for One Bank and Chuck.
A senior team you talk to directly
The people on your first call are the people who do the work, and senior designers on our projects average 9 years of experience. We’ve run 200+ projects since 2017, hold a 4.9 Clutch rating across 35 reviews, and 70% of our clients come back for a second project.

When Design Bridge and Partners is the better call
Two briefs that fit their model better.
A packaging range across many markets
With 16 studios from Amsterdam to Shanghai and São Paulo, Design Bridge and Partners can run a consumer brand and its packaging across many countries at once. Spirits, food, and retail brands fill much of their work list.
Corporate and sustainability reporting
Their site shows reporting work for Airbus, Swiss Re, IHG, and Legal & General. If the deliverable is an annual or sustainability report rather than a product, that track record is the closer match.

Questions?
Is Humbleteam a good alternative to Design Bridge and Partners?
Yes, when the brief is a digital product rather than a consumer brand rollout. We put Logitech’s desk-booking app, website, and design system into production in 4 weeks and have designed for 56 fintechs and 30+ banks. Design Bridge and Partners is a WPP brand design agency with 900 people in 16 studios, focused on brand strategy, identity, experience, and effectiveness.
Humbleteam or Design Bridge and Partners: who delivers faster?
We publish our delivery times, and Design Bridge and Partners does not on its site. Ours are 5 days to a tested banking MVP with ING Amsterdam, 23 days to a user-tested ING prototype, and 2 weeks on average from a signed brief to a clickable prototype. Enquiries get an answer within 24 hours, and work can begin the following week.
We need a new brand and the app behind it. Who should we hire?
We design both in one system, so the identity and the product screens share one set of rules. One Bank got its brand and digital experience from us, and Chuck got an identity for a bank that is anything but average. Design Bridge and Partners lists brand experience among its 4 specialties; ask both teams for a case where the brand shipped inside a live product.
How big is each team, and who does the work?
We’re 49 people in Prague and Dubai, and the senior designers on your project average 9 years of experience. You meet the people who will do the work on the first call. Design Bridge and Partners states 900 people across 16 studios worldwide, led by a group leadership team and studio managing directors.
How much does each cost, and how soon can we start?
Neither company publishes prices. You can start with a fixed-price audit, move to a scoped implementation, or keep us on a monthly retainer, and the estimate is shared on the first call. Enquiries are answered within 24 hours, with a project start possible next week. Design Bridge and Partners does not list prices or start times on its site; each studio page gives a contact.
