Designed through doing

Tarsim was born from 15+ years of hands-on experience in digital product design, user experience, and team leadership. What started as a full-stack development practice in 2007 evolved into a deep specialization in product design and UX strategy from 2016 onward.

Today, we bring that breadth of experience — from writing code to leading design organizations — to help companies build the right design teams and help designers build the right careers.

"Great design doesn't emerge from tools or processes alone — it emerges from teams that know why they're designing and who they're designing for."

Our approach is grounded in evidence-based frameworks and systematic thinking. We don't offer generic playbooks. Every engagement is shaped by your unique context — your industry, your culture, your people, and your stage of growth. We believe in building capabilities, not dependencies.
