Design + Product Audit
Something feels off but you can't name it. We interview users, walk every flow, map friction, and return with a sharp, honest readout and a prioritized plan.
Studio Paper is an AI-native design and product studio in Istanbul. We work with B2B SaaS teams going international, helping them ship faster, look sharper, and close the deals that good design wins.
No pitch. No slides. Just a conversation.
When your prospect opens a competitor's demo right after yours, they decide in seconds. Not on features. On how it feels.
We've seen it happen across SaaS. AI tools, e-commerce platforms, sales software. The product that wins isn't always the smartest one. It's the one that looks like it knows what it's doing.
That's what we fix.
Your product works, but it doesn't look like it does.
You're pitching enterprise and losing deals at the demo stage.
Your team is shipping fast, but design is always the bottleneck.
You're building AI features, and they feel like features instead of a product.
You need senior design thinking but can't justify a full team yet.
Most studios take your brief and disappear for six weeks. You get back beautiful screens that don't account for your roadmap, your users, or how your engineers actually build things.
Studio Paper is AI-native, which means we move faster than a traditional studio without cutting corners on quality. AI is part of our daily workflow: faster research synthesis, quicker iteration, sharper prototyping. What used to take weeks, we do in days.
You get design rooted in product thinking. Not the other way around.
Something feels off but you can't name it. We interview users, walk every flow, map friction, and return with a sharp, honest readout and a prioritized plan.
We work with your leadership team to clarify priorities, align stakeholders, and build a product roadmap your team can actually execute. Clear direction, shipped decisions, and less drift.
Embedded a few days a week. We run discovery, shape the roadmap, design the surfaces that matter, and work directly with your engineers.
AI-accelerated, human-crafted.
AI handles synthesis and exploration. The judgment is still us.
Async first.
Loom, Linear, Figma comments. Meetings when they earn it.
Same faces, start to finish.
No handoff to a junior once the contract is signed.
Honest pricing.
Fixed scope, fixed price, written down. Half upfront, half on delivery.
Studio Paper is based in Istanbul. We're a product designer and a product manager with a combined 17 years inside SaaS. We've spent that time building things used in production by real teams, not advising on them from a distance.
We keep the team small so you always work with someone senior. No handoffs. No account management layer. Just the people doing the actual work.
Usually within 1 to 2 weeks of signing. Audits and sprints have defined start dates. Fractional engagements ramp in over the first week.
Sometimes. Audits and sprints work great for early-stage teams. Fractional partnerships work best once you have an engineering team to work alongside.
Faster turnaround, more iterations, and better research synthesis, without a bloated team or a bloated invoice.
Yes. We work across Turkey, Europe, the US, and the Gulf. TRY pricing is available for local engagements.
Not as core work. If a project needs it, we partner with a specialist.
Two of us at the core, a senior product designer and a product manager, plus a trusted network for when projects need more hands.
A 30-minute conversation. You tell us what's stuck. We tell you honestly whether we can help and how.
