How we came to be
Blackgrid started with us, Juraj, a senior designer, and Nikolina, a developer and designer. Together we ran Indev, our first design and dev agency. From the very start we saw the same frustration repeat itself. Clients weren’t struggling with ideas, they were struggling with the process.
Every project began with the same hurdles: writing job posts, filtering applications, interviewing designers who never quite fit, freelancers who disappeared mid-project, or agencies that buried everything under layers of meetings and delays. More time was spent managing the chaos than actually designing.
As designers ourselves, we felt that pain too. The wasted hours, the missed deadlines, the constant uncertainty. It was exhausting. That was the moment we realized the problem wasn’t creativity, it was the system around it.
With years of design and development behind us, we knew exactly what had to change. Blackgrid was our answer. Not another agency, not another freelance platform, but a plug and play design service. No hiring rounds, no chasing freelancers, no endless calls. Just straightforward, on-demand design that delivers fast, consistent, and stress-free.
We built Blackgrid for every founder, marketer, and team who knows their time is too valuable to waste.
