Today, the team comprises of about 30 Designers – including Product designers, UI designers, and Design Managers ?

In 2021 we created a brand new Mesh Design System followed by a full app revamp - all in just 3 months! It’s hardly a coincidence that our monthly orders improved by 10X in the last two years.
