The founders story
Boiling Brains started in early 2021 by Mart and Dima. They both know design, management, and product development from different places — established companies, design studios, startups and freelance work where they have spent the first 10 years of their careers.
Mart’s accomplishments include winning the Estonian Design Award in 2013 in the mobile applications category and the Bronze Egg at the Golden Egg contest (Estonia). Shortly after that, Mart switched his professional growth towards digital product design and began working for product companies. He also served as a mentor in digital product design at the Estonian Academy of Arts and has been doing Jury duty for Estonian Design Awards in 2014 and Golden Egg Award 2015.
Dima started as a Project/Product manager in Telecom, then transitioned to Product development, eventually pivoting towards Product design with a focus on UX. He authored an efficient UX Research methodology that contributed to a revenue growth of 3.5-4M$ for a single client within just 6 months.
Additionally, Dima contributes to his hometown community of Narva, Estonia, by participating in the "Tagasi Kooli" program. Through this initiative, he provides educational sessions for school children in grades 10-11. Specifically, he offers open lessons about career path and his experience, shares insights, and provides tips on making wise decisions to achieve their educational and professional goals.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find an answer? Drop us a line

What are the pricing options?

As all projects are unique, we can’t give you a precise number. Though, here are the pricing models we use:

  • Pay as you go (hourly rate x hours spent)
  • Monthly subscription (fixed monthly fee)
  • Fixed price (separate offer for every Scope of Works)

How can we start?

First, please schedule a 30-minute call and we’ll orchestrate the rest. Be ready contribute into:

  • Q&A form about business and product
  • Follow-up call with stakeholders
  • Design strategy workshop
  • Project planning

What is our toolset?

We use multiple tools for different purposes. For analysis we use Smartlook - a fully GDPR compliant tool to observe user behaviour and measure performance of user flows and design solutions. For design and brainstorming we use Figma, Figjam and Miro. For FE-development we use the most popular stacks and open source frameworks (React.js, Next.js, Vue.js, Tailwind CSS). Also, we are good in Webflow and WordPress development.

How can we communicate?

We’ll set up a private Slack channel to keep communication flowing fast and transparent. We use it for rapid communication as well as proactive weekly status reporting. For documents related communication we prefer using Email.

How can I request new designs?

Easy! Once we've onboarded you and assigned a Project Manager to your project(s), simply share your needs or ideas with him or her. We'll take it from there, turning your input into actionable task first and eventually into ready-to-develop designs.

How soon can I get the first designs?

Normally, we start the actual design work by the end of the Week 2 (if stakeholders contributed as expected during the onboarding). So it is reasonable to expect the first design solutions by the end of the Week 3.

Do you work with other Design & Development agencies?

Absolutely! We love to collaborate with other agencies. Please schedule a 30-minute call to explore how our combined expertise can elevate your projects to new heights.
