The problem
Not because their product isn't valuable. Because their brand, website, and pitch deck fail to communicate that value.
You burn hours on design instead of scaling.
They are cheap, but they don't understand startups.
Big retainers. Slow delivery. Endless meetings.
Fast, but it's useless unless an expert steers it.

Thomas worked with Smartville on a complete re-design and update of our website. Through many iterations, he shepherded our team along a path of discovery, patiently working with us as we determined what we liked, what we didn't, and worked out content in real-time. A true professional -- he'll help you get the best results!

Vice President of Smartville
aMAIZEing ! Only play on words because Thomas helped us create great materials for our corn farmers 🙂
Jana Tian
CEO and Co-Founder of Upside Robotics
After founding a new company, Eden Bio, I urgently needed branding, and as a technical founder I have little experience of either branding and design. I was put in touch with Thomas who was able to guide me through the branding process, designing a logo, the template for an investor deck and a website. Key benefits to our company were the flexibility and discussion around the work to be done and we are very pleased with the professional results that allowed us to make a great impression when the company launched. I would definitely recommend.
Christopher Reynolds
Founder and CEO of Eden Bio
Thomas was fantastic to work with. He and his team are quick to reply and are capable of executing high-quality results in very tight timelines. Highly recommend!

Head of Product at NiaHealth
Altravela helped design the renewed website for Universe Energy. It spanned brand design, website design, and content delivery. Thomas has a strong sense to visualize the technical content for UE in a way that makes it resonate as a serious tech company. The implementation was great and I would recommend Altravela anytime.
Wiebe Jansen
Founder of Universe Energy
Our experience with Atravela was outstanding. We gave Thomas very little inspirational material to work with and within a matter of a couple days he built up a whole brand strategy accompanied by the sexiest of logos and design recommendations. Really can't recommend him enough. Fast, reliable, incredibly professional and very receptive to the clients needs. What really stood out is how quickly and genuinely he understood what our company was about and adapted his offering accordingly. Impressive stuff.
Ludovico Mitchener
Co-founder & CTO of PhycoWorks
I’m already recommending Atravela to my founder friends, and hope they won’t get too busy to work with in the future. People I speak repeatedly bring up the quality of the visual brand and design, on the things we’ve had Atravela work on. So far two different projects. Been very happy with both. Quality is high, but even more importantly: super flexible and iterative, and very fast (also good value). We’ve worked with other design agencies in the past and have never been happy with them. We’ve been very happy here.
Emil Fristed
CEO and Founder of Novoic
Thomas was a delight to work with. We had daily calls where we expressed to him what design changes we wanted and got his advice on how to best present specific features. Thomas delivered new designs to us daily and made them fit our client's needs as well as making them responsive to many different screen layouts and formats. He has great Figma and design skills for many different design use-cases. An absolute pleasure to work with.
Nick Carmont
CTO and Co-Founder of Connect Earth
Very professional. Thomas has been incredibly efficient and effective to work with. Always volunteering great input to improve the project and doing so in a deft manner.
