“Lessons from a Redesign Consultation” Had a second session with a startup founder today who wanted their old website “modernized.” They were hesitant about change but agreed after I demoed a clean, minimalist prototype. Showing, not just telling, made all the difference. ✨ Advice: Build trust by showcasing quick examples—clients feel reassured when they see possibilities instead of hearing theories. #WebDesign #StartupUI #TrustTheProcess #AgartStudio

Baukunst is excited to announce the launch of Stories Issue 2: MAGIC. Embedded in everything we do at Baukunst—whether building an ecosystem of innovative minds or investing in new startups—is a goal to reinforce the potency of a building ethos that melds technology expertise with critical design thinking. We believe this intersectional approach is what generates wildly new tools that exceed, or sometimes wholly divert from, expectation. Within this cross-section is where we are betting the “magic” of the future lies. When you think about it, for centuries magic and technology have shared a similar goal: to transform what seems impossible into something tangible. Founders and creative technologists also share traits of the magician. Digital technologies have proven over time to change our world, and by creating new tools, technologists have the ability to reshape realities. What could we learn if we look at technology and building through this mystical lens? Could principles of magic offer insights into how we design and innovate today? If we were to look at our current landscape of technology and media under a critical lens, what might it reveal about their magical effects on us? In the latest issue of Baukunst Stories, we explore broadly the topic of mysticism—from the the messy magic of building startups, to the connections between magic and current technologies.

How to Look Like a Big Deal (When You’re Not) Your startup has zero dollars. Zero customers. But here’s the thing: Perception is everything. If you don’t look like a contender, no one will treat you like one. 🔵 It’s not about pretending. 🔵 It’s about presenting yourself. What Design Really Says 🟢 Clean design = We care. 🟢 Consistent design = We’re serious. 🟢 Confident design = We’re ready for this. When you look the part, you start believing it. And when you believe it, you become it. So, fix the fonts. Clear the clutter. Keep it clean. Because big deals don’t wait for you to get ready. ______________ Hi, Im Ronak Rai Cuz if your startup's a dumpster fire, no one’s bringing the marshmallows. 🟢 🔵

Do Hardware Startups need good design? (Part 2) I always wondered if there was a data-driven way to evaluate if or if-not there is value in design for startups. Mainly I asked myself the question: Do Hardware Startups need Good Design? So I set out on a little journey to see what the data says. In Part 2 of this series, I looked to see if there is a link between Good Design and a successful Kickstarter campaign Surprisingly, the data is pretty strong here! Stay tuned for Part 3.

Design for users. It sounds simple, yet many startups miss it. They focus on features and technology, forgetting that if users can’t connect with the product, it’s game over. User-centered design isn’t optional—it’s what separates good products from great ones. Startups often prioritize business goals over user needs. But users don’t care about your growth charts. They care about how your product solves their problems. That’s where user-centered design shifts the focus to what really matters. User-centered design also supports agility. Feedback drives informed changes, helping you adjust toward product-market fit. It’s not guessing—it’s responding. At the end it all comes to understanding who you’re building for. Before your next big launch, ask: does this help our users? Get that right, and growth will follow. #ProductDesign #StartupGrowth #UserNeeds #DesignStrategy #ProductDevelopment
