A small studio. Senior people only.
Senior product design and design engineering, from Dhaka, in your working hours.
A small studio in Dhaka, led by one person you can talk to
Sigma Studio is a product design and front-end studio led by MD Rakib Shekh. We work with SaaS, AI and startup teams around the world.
Why design and code sit together
A design can look right in Figma and still come out wrong in the browser. The gap between the two is where time is lost. So the people who design your screens also build the front end, and what you approve is what gets built.
Why we make our own products
Pagestro, UIXport and the UIX Design System are live and anyone can try them. They show how we think about tools, files and handoff. You do not have to take our word for it.
Hello, I am Rakib. I lead Sigma Studio from Dhaka.
Our goal is simple. Your product should be clear to the people who use it, and clear to the engineers who build it.
We keep our prices public and our scope fixed. If we are not the right fit, I will tell you on the first call.
If you have a product to design or fix, send me a note.
MD Rakib Shekh
Founder, Sigma Studio. Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Six habits you can hold us to
These are not slogans. Each one shows up in how a project runs.
-
01
Design and code, one team
The people who design your product also build the front end. Nothing gets lost between the file and the browser.

02
Say what is true
Public prices and fixed scope. If we do not know something, we say so, and if we are not the right fit, we tell you on the first call.
-
03
Senior people, direct contact
You talk to the person doing the work. No account managers in between.
-
04
Cut early
A smaller first version is faster to build and easier to learn from. We help you decide what can wait.
-
05
Show progress every week
A short Loom video tells you what is done, what is next and what we need from you.

06
Hand over files engineers can use
Clear names, a component library, named tokens and every state designed. No hidden layers to dig through.
Time zones, communication and payments, plainly
Most of our clients are in another country. Here is how that works day to day.
