Our mission is simple: build brands, websites and the systems behind them that founders can own and run themselves. 80+ launches since 2013, most of them for clients abroad. ![George Dragan, founder of dhero.studio](https://dhero.studio/_astro/george-dragan-senior-product-designer.wZyxUyjp_Z7vzCm.webp) - Founded 2013 - Based Bucharest, Romania (EU) - Working hours Central European time, flexible for any time zone - Language English - Clients Europe, North America, Middle East, Asia The founder ## Led by George Dragan. Founder and Senior Product Designer, 12+ years dhero.studio began in 2013 as digitalhero, a small web and interface design practice in Bucharest, started by George Dragan. The first clients were local. The second wave was not, and within a few years most of the work was coming from founders abroad. The line we kept coming back to was “turning pixels into success”, and it still explains every decision we make. A pixel is worth nothing on its own. A brand people trust, a website that sells, a platform that runs the business: those are worth something. So the practice grew into branding, design and development under one roof. Twelve years, 80+ launches and a few awards later, the job has not changed. We design the brand, build the site and ship the system behind it, for founders who would rather run their business than their website. ![CSS Design Awards, Best Innovation](https://dhero.studio/_astro/cssda-best-inn-green.Bs5CFQ3n.svg) ![CSS Design Awards, Best UI Design](https://dhero.studio/_astro/cssda-best-ui-purple.B5l3ZKcd.svg) ![CSS Design Awards, Best UX Design](https://dhero.studio/_astro/cssda-best-ux-orange.T6baay2S.svg) ![CSS Design Awards, Special Kudos](https://dhero.studio/_astro/cssda-special-kudos-white.Dw4vpbbU.svg) Awwwards, Honorable Mention - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/g-dragan/) - [Behance](https://www.behance.net/dherostudio) - [Dribbble](https://dribbble.com/dhero_studio) ## We’re a founder-led design-and-build studio in the EU, working with founders in the UK, Europe and North America. ## We design the brand, build the website and ship the system that runs the business behind it.
