Who we are

A studio built to remove the handoff

Dcycle is a design and engineering studio building the products of the AI era. One team carries a project from research through deployment, which is the whole idea, and the reason the work below looks the way it was approved.

Our story

We started because the handoff kept eating the work

Most projects lose their best ideas somewhere between the Figma file and the pull request. Designers hand over. Developers reinterpret. Three sprints later the thing that shipped isn’t the thing that was approved, and the people who drew it are already on something else.

Dcycle opened in October 2022 to work the other way round. Our designers and engineers sit on the same project from the first research call to the deploy, so design decisions get pressure-tested against real constraints on day one, and what you approved is what goes live.

Since then it has been 20+ documented engagements across 7+ industries and 11+ markets. Some are four-year platform partnerships. Some are four-day fixes. We publish all of them, because a portfolio of six hand-picked projects tells you almost nothing about how a studio actually works.

The usual way

Design agency → Handoff → Dev shop

Scope drift, re-specification, nobody accountable

With Dcycle

Research → One team → Production

What you approved is what ships

What we hold to

Six things we will not trade away

01

One team, not two vendors

Designers and engineers sit on the same project from research through deployment. There is no handoff to lose the idea in, and one invoice at the end of it.

02

What you approved is what ships

Interactions, motion and edge cases are built by the people who drew them, so they survive into production instead of being reinterpreted three sprints later.

03

Documented, not curated

Most studios show six projects and call it a portfolio. Every engagement we have taken since October 2022 is published on the work page, including the four-day ones.

04

Constraints on day one

Design decisions get pressure-tested against the real stack, the real data and the real timeline before they are signed off, not after.

05

AI where it earns its place

We build AI into products when it does a job the product needs doing. It is a tool in the stack here, not a line in the pitch.

06

Accountable end to end

One team owns the outcome, which means when something is wrong there is nobody to point at and nothing to renegotiate.

How we work

The Dcycle Loop, seven Ds

The same seven stages run on a four-day fix and a four-year platform. Only the time spent in each one changes. See it turn

  1. 01

    Discover

    What is actually wrong, and for whom

  2. 02

    Define

    The one problem worth solving first

  3. 03

    Design

    Interfaces tested against the real constraints

  4. 04

    Demonstrate

    Something clickable before something expensive

  5. 05

    Develop

    Built by the people who designed it

  6. 06

    Deploy

    Shipped, measured, and watched

  7. 07

    Deliver

    Handed over working, not handed off

What we do

Three things, done properly

Design, engineering and AI: under one roof, on one timeline, with one point of contact.

Pillar 01

Design

Research, UX and interface design for products people come back to. We start with who uses this and what number you are moving, not with a moodboard.

UI/UX Design · SaaS Product Design · Website Redesign · UX Audit · Design Systems

Pillar 02

Development

React, Next.js, Node and Sanity. The same team that designed it builds it, so the motion, the edge cases and the detail survive into production.

Web & React Development · MVP Development · SaaS Development · Headless CMS

Pillar 03

AI

Assistants, agents and model-backed features built into the product rather than bolted beside it, where they remove real work for a real user.

Who you will actually work with

Kishan Bhatt

Founder

Kishan started Dcycle in October 2022 and has been on every engagement since. On your project he is the person who scopes it, the person who tells you what to cut, and the person you call when something is wrong, not a name on a pitch deck you never see again.
