Product design
Product
UX design is about having the right conversations: surfacing tradeoffs, aligning teams, and unblocking decisions. We work in real time, share screens, and say the quiet part out loud. It’s not always neat, but it’s never performative.

UX department
Post consultant
While you hire
Zero to one
Freelance-ish
Free trial
01
UX department
Your house is on fire. You need a team that can embed within your product org. We’re in your Jira, your Slack, and that 5 pm regroup when leadership blows up the roadmap again.
02
Post consultant
Your brand-name consulting firm gave you a expensive PPT. Now you're left to figure out how to make any of it real. We help translate that vision into something usable.
03
While you hire
You’re six months out from hiring a full-time designer. In the meantime, things still need to ship. We keep the lights on while you build your team.
04
Zero to one
You have an idea of an idea, and need help bringing it to life. While we don't do development, we do just about everything else to get it to market.
05
Freelance-ish
You don’t need an agency, but don’t want to chance it with a random freelancer either. We act like a solo designer with the reliability of a studio.
06
Free trial
Portfolios don’t show how someone thinks. That’s why we offer a free one-week trial—a small project to assess chemistry and fit.
Brand design
Product
Traditional studios chase alignment over output, wasting weeks debating details that don't impact the work. We move fast, design in context, and build systems your team can run after we're gone.

Creative team
Rebrand-ish
Starter brand
Template library
Freelance-ish
Free trial
01
Creative team
Your house is on fire. You need a team that can embed within your marketing org. We're in your Asana, your Slack and that 5 pm regroup when the CEO changes their mind again.
02
Rebrand-ish
You don’t need a full rebrand. You’ve got the right ingredients—they’re just not working together. We make a few smart edits, tighten the system, and help the brand feel new without starting over.
03
Starter brand
You need a brand, but don't have three months to quibble about the meaning of the word "modern." We help launch a new brand in four to six weeks.
04
Template library
Your team doesn’t need a PDF brand guide. You need templates—built in Figma or Canva—that marketing can actually use without calling a designer.
05
Freelance-ish
You don’t need an agency, but don’t want to chance it with a random freelancer either. We act like a solo designer with the reliability of a studio.
06
Free trial
Portfolios don’t show how someone thinks. That’s why we offer a free one-week trial—a small project to assess chemistry and fit.
About us
Product
Hi, I’m Dev Gupta. I started notdev as a solo shop until Toyota politely bullied me into hiring. We’ve grown since then, but still operate with that same scrappy, solo spirit. When you hire us, you’re hiring me—and the few people I trust with my reputation.
Also check out our instagram where I make memes and redesign famous apps in my Snuggie.
