SGJRstudio Headline Illustration

Senior design and development. Indie pricing.

Based in Singapore and Malaysia, SGJRstudio is a design and development studio that works directly with founders — no account managers, no layers, no overhead.

You get senior-level talent doing the actual work, not a junior team managed by the person you talked to in the sales call. The result is faster decisions, sharper execution, and a final product that reflects what you actually asked for.

I build websites, brands, and digital products for teams who care about quality but don't want to pay agency rates to get it.

My capabilities

I work across three layers — Brand, Product, and Growth — so your project stays with one person from first concept to shipped product.

No handoffs between departments. No re-explaining your vision to a new person every sprint.

Pricing

Every project is scoped to what you actually need. No inflated retainers, no hours billed for "strategy meetings" that could have been an email.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Websites, web apps, branding, and digital products — typically for founders, startups, and small teams who need senior-level design and development without the agency overhead. If it lives on the web and needs to be well-crafted, I'm probably a good fit.
  • Every project is quoted individually based on scope, timeline, and complexity. No templated packages, no hourly billing surprises. Get in touch with your project details and I'll put together a clear proposal.
  • Yes. For teams that need continuous design and development support, I offer monthly retainers scoped to your workload. It's a good fit for product teams shipping regularly.
  • Of course. Requirements shift — that's normal. I handle scope changes transparently with clear communication about how it affects timeline and cost. No rigid contracts that punish you for learning more about your own product.
  • For many early-stage teams, a full-time hire means months of recruiting, onboarding, and overhead before you see output. With me, you get someone senior working on your project within days — with none of the HR burden.
  • At most agencies, the people who pitch you aren't the people who do the work. Here, you talk to the same person who designs and builds your product. That means fewer miscommunications, faster iteration, and better results — at a fraction of the cost.
  • You'll see tangible progress within the first week. Most projects ship within 4–8 weeks depending on scope. I work async and keep momentum without filler meetings.
  • I iterate until it is. Every project includes revision rounds, and I refine based on your feedback. The goal is work you're genuinely proud of, not work that's "close enough."
  • Design and development: Figma, Framer, Webflow, Rive, Spline, and custom code (Next.js, React, TypeScript).

    Communication: Slack, Telegram, Google Meet — or whatever your team already uses.

  • Yes, standard practice. I'm happy to sign NDAs or custom contracts before any project begins. Your work stays confidential.
  • Invoices are sent via Stripe — clear line items, no hidden fees. For project work, I typically split payments across milestones. For retainers, billing is monthly.
  • Life happens. You can pause or end an engagement with reasonable notice. I don't lock you into long-term contracts designed to be hard to leave.

Start your project

The best next step is a short discovery call. I'll figure out fit, align on scope, and give you an honest estimate — no pitch deck, no pressure.

About me

SGJRstudio started as one designer-developer building things for the love of the craft — and that's still exactly what it is.

I care about doing good work over growing fast. About long-term relationships over quick projects. About building things that are well-made, not just shipped on time.

If you're working on something worth building well, let's talk.
