We Design Stuff

Hello, we are Lizco Studios —a product design studio that integrates with your team. Our process prioritizes doing over thinking, and usability over everything.

Below are some recent highlights, the case studies are a work in progress, if you have questions, definitely slide into our DMs

🚀 MVP Launch & Beyond

🚀 MVP Launch & Beyond

Headstarter is an early stage startup with a vision for an AI professor that helps CS students get jobs. We designed the entire platform focusing on a user experience that would engage, delight, and retain their audience of Gen Z’ers looking for their first software engineering gig. Beyond the MVP launch we have evolved the design to create a lovable product that has seen steady growth and continues to increase MoM retention.

📈 Product enhancement

📈 Product enhancement

Open edX is an open source Learning Management System that thousands of companies have built their businesses on. The team at Axim Collaborative, the nonprofit organization that runs OpenEdx, needed a way for their thousands of course authors to be able to reference content in a single place for use in their myriad online courses. The launch of libraries is expected to have a massive impact on the way course authors find content and use it within their courses, making it much easier and more efficient to build complex online courses.

🚢 product definition & Launch

🚢 product definition & Launch

PACE was designed for runners with a training goal - aimed to serve busy athletes, PACE utilized artificial intelligence that would adjust an athlete's training plan based on their performance. We paired the AI with real coaches to give the athlete a real sense of accountability to the programming. PACE allowed coaches to scale their reach and athletes to get a custom training plan at a fraction of the cost of hiring a coach. PACE launched in 2021 and saw great adoption at launch. Unfortunately, the app was sunset before we could really see it take off due to a change in strategy by the parent company.

🧭 Navigation overhaul

🧭 Navigation overhaul

We transformed the TrainingPeaks mobile navigation to engage and retain athletes. We helped solve TrainingPeaks’ declining adoption by designing a landing experience in their mobile app where users could get a glimpse into their training journey. The new landing experience significantly increased adoption in the TrainingPeaks mobile app.

We’ve worked with some cool companies

But not as cool as yours.

Studio

LIZCO Studios was founded in 2023 after Liz Cohen (Lizco) decided to ditch her full time job and “figure it out.” It seems to be going pretty well.


We are a small design shop based in Golden, CO but our team is fully distributed. Everyone chooses their best working environment and lives their best life. We meet as a team for daily standup and we all really like each other, which we think is pretty important. Based in Colorado, when we’re not designing, we are out of service.


We're pretentious about our coffee and we throw our own pottery.

We get it.

You’re looking for a design team to help tame the chaos. We get it. You need results and you need them yesterday. We pride ourselves on efficiency, and also, greatness doesn’t happen over night. We promise we will be there in the thick of it with you - LIZCO team members work as semi-embedded members on your team. We bring our culture and expertise and integrate into your dynamic.

We never leave you guessing.

We show our work throughout the entire process. In meetings we share our screens and expect productive conversation every step of the way. We also integrate with your communication tools and will share regular updates via video walkthroughs and prototype links as often as necessary (usually 2x/ week).

We crush deadlines.

We start very low fidelity to help us get on the same page and move quickly later. As we onboard and learn about your business and customers, we generate a lot of concepts and ideas.


Rather than waste time showing you polished work at this stage, we are more focused on getting directionally correct and aligned. Starting this way allows us to crush deadlines later. In many cases this is also where we go deep with your product team to understand the roadmap and in many cases, we help guide it.

Engagements

Engagements

Ongoing

We work together on an ongoing basis, at your pace, as semi-embedded members of your team. These engagements typically last more than 6 months. We often start with a shorter engagement to ensure we are a good fit before moving to a longer agreement.

Project

You have a (fairly) specific thing you need done such as a new feature or a revamp of an existing feature. Typically 3-6months.

Flexible

Got a different idea? We’re open to all different types of engagement - let’s chat.
