About RNO1

RNO1 is a Global Branding, UX & Digital Growth Partner.

We build Radical Digital Experiences™ for VC-backed startups, public companies, and Fortune 500s across every medium — making your brand presence compound revenue instead of leaking it. Operating as a continuous, embedded digital partner—deploying senior, cross-functional teams to architect market dominance for Founders, C-Suite, and Product teams.

Every medium your market interacts with — your website, product, digital campaigns, and sales assets — is an immediate and ruthless signal of your market value. When elite design and messaging are calibrated to your audience and unified by a cohesive brand strategy, credibility scales and revenue compounds. When execution misses the mark or the brand is fragmented, every interaction contradicts the last — and revenue leaks at every stage.

We reverse-engineer your goals, deeply understand your audience, and embed as a true partner to produce tangible results — typically starting with brand strategy and then subsequently aligning website(s), product(s), content, and marketing channels to drive market growth.

Before working with RNO1, our brand didn’t feel memorable in a highly competitive market. Their team took the time to deeply understand our business, was extremely receptive to feedback, and delivered a rebrand we’re super thrilled with—giving us greater confidence going into the market (aligned with our Series A) and engaging enterprise clients. The process was seamless, collaborative, and the results truly speak for themselves—we can’t recommend RNO1 highly enough.

## Case Studies

### Powering Subscriptions For Everyone

Client: Prive

Prive has created powerful subscriptons for everyone. Users are able to simply set up, migrate, and scale subscriptions, to unlock new ways for each brand to sell, and for all customers to shop, in minutes. The Co-Founders of Prive approached RNO1 to evolve and elevate the Prive visual identity design, visual language, design systems and animations to showcase the simplicity and ease of use of what Prive offers its customers. We integrated a powerful content strategy, guiding the full experience design output. The UX/UI Design (website architecture and design) brought the value of Prive front and center to the user journey, built to scale well into the future. Success Story Prive (founded by two former Uber product managers), raised $1.7 million in pre-seed funding to create what it describes as a far more customizable e-commerce subscriptions platform for D2C brands. **WIN: PRIVE ACQUIRED IN 2025**

### The Power Of Decentralization

Client: EOS Network FoundationYear: 2024

The EOS Network Foundation coordinates financial and non-financial forms of support for the EOS Network, to encourage its growth and development. Harnessing the power of decentralization to chart a coordinated future for the EOS Network, as a force for positive global change. Recently, EOS Network Foundation (ENF) has partnered with RNO1 to reframe the Digital Brand and CX as a move to further innovation of the EOS Network. With an intense separation from Block.one (B1), we aligned with Head Leadership of the ENF to reframe and reposition the brand — with a fluid and futuristic vision and undertone. The ongoing Design-First collaboration is allowing us to think deeper around the possibilities of the EOS Ecosystem, than ever before.

### The Future Of Digital Banking Technology

Client: Amount

Amount creates Digital Agility for Modern Banking. Powered by the Amount Platform, and partnering with some of the world's leading financial institutions (TD Bank, HSBC, eLoan and more), the products created work and thrive in a bank-grade infrastructure. RNO1 was approached by the Head of Marketing/Exec Team, to create a modern, customer facing, design-rich digital design experience. This began with a complete reframing of the Marketing/Product Marketing Website - and extended to a more robust design system and visual language that could scale well into the future (cross-channel). Success Story: During the time of our working partnership, Amount, a company that provides technology to banks and financial institutions, has raised $99 million in a Series D funding round at a valuation of just over $1 billion. **WIN: AMOUNT ACQUIRED BY FIS IN 2025**

### The Future Of Apartments

Client: Cloud ApartmentsYear: 2024

The future of apartments is here. Cloud Apartments is creating the first apartment completely optimized for the renter experience. Livability, Sustainability and Smart Technology all come together to transform how we live, work, and engage with our spaces - the places we often call home. RNO1 was engaged to bring a modern and futuristic brand experience to life supporting Cloud Apartments as they entered the market. Backed by private invesmtent, it was hyper-critical to put CX and UX first, and above everything, guiding customers and users alike through a brand journey. We embraced design through innovation: from product - to identity - through digital touchpoints. In direct alignment with the Founding Team, we are reimagining and rethinking the possibilities of the apartment experience of today, and tomorrow. Success Metric Cloud Apartments raises $3M in early-stage funding / growing.

### Revolutionizing The World Of Credit

Client: HighlineYear: 2024

Highline (VC-backed Tech Startup) is a new payments platform that automates bill payments directly from payroll. Lenders can decrease missed payments by up to 2/3rds, reduce credit losses, expand customers’ credit options, and better support financial wellness. Highline supports all forms of recurring bill payment, from personal loans and credit cards, to rent and utilities. RNO1 was first approached by the Founding Team at Highline to produce a clean and technologically advanced visual brand and design experience that could push them into the future: one that is credible and eqully scalable, cross-channel. We married design strategy and brand storytelling, equally weighted with UX/UI (web), to propel Highline ahead as a true disruptor in the FinTech space. Success Story: Fintech Platform Highline Launches With $4.5M in Seed Funding. The round was led by Foundation Capital and Costanoa Ventures.

### Adaptive Hotel Pricing Platform

Client: TakeUpYear: 2024

TakeUp (backed by 1848 Ventures) is an adaptive pricing platform that uses artificial intelligence to optimize room prices, simply. The current hotel pricing model is broken. Hotel owners and operators don't know how to price accurately, and in real-time. As the Founding Team of TakeUp approached us, we wanted to challenge the industry in creating a visual language and design system that could clearly convey the process of automation and expansion. Initially, our objectives were on brand strategy/architecture, visual identity and language - extending outward to a front-facing digital experience (website). We're now pursuing extendable solutions and strategies from Demo Decks (Conferences) to other interactive solutions to posture the brand for rapid growth.

### Become Crypto Capable

Client: Shift MarketsYear: 2025

Shift Markets' crypto-as-a-service technology allows anyone to commercialize digital assets, without the headaches. They help companies go from Crypto Curious - to - Crypto Capable. We partnered with the Marketing/Product & Leadership Team at Shift to bring a Web3-first experience design to life, empowering users and customers to engage with meaningful content experiences (with a pivot point into Enterprise). This included a well thought out content strategy, digital identity, design system (including iconography, pattern/color variants, illustrations, etc) and visual language, with interactive and dynamic elements that can keep users (future customers) highly engaged along their journey. The net result of the digital launch was clean, connective, and conversion centric, fueling future growth for Shift in the market. 🚀

### Investing In Startups Re‑Inventing Tomorrow

Client: CoVenture

CoVenture invests across the capital stack of tech startups re-inventing tomorrow’s economy. A VC (Venture Capital) firm by day, fueled by strategy, innovation and grit to ignite large economies with rapid technology. They are aligned with entrepreneurs whose innovation is outpacing traditional capital markets. As the Founders/Partners approached RNO1, we were tasked with thinking and acting “bigger”. From the foundational elements of the brand identity, to the modern extension of the visual language (digital experience), we were able to evolve CoVenture and support the brand to scale into the future. The design exercise was equally embracing of strategic positioning, messaging frameworks, conceptual exercises, and design extendability — to scale beyond the digital of today, but to pave the way for the experience of tomorrow. Together, we anticipate a strong RODI (Return on Design Investment) and a deep level of Customer Experience, from the first moment/interaction of a game—changing entrepreneur.

### Accelerating Speed To Market For New Therapies

Client: Fluxa

Fluxa helps life sciences companies heal the world more effectively, replacing manual product lifecycles with a digitally iterative knowledge and tech transfer management process. It integrates the complexities of industrial drug development and manufacture into more predictive and adaptive processes.

Working in alignment with the Founding Team at Fluxa with a shared vision for growth, we brought a modern and minamlistic identity front and forward. With cohesion between ID Design, Visual & Design Language, and the potential to scale out Design Systems, Fluxa was prepared for a major pivot from a private (independently owned) company - to a larger acqusition by Emerson (a Global Tech/Software Company in the Life Sciences Industry) in July 2022. Success Story: Emerson, a Global Technology and Software Company, Strengthens Leadership in Life Sciences Industry with Acquisition of Fluxa

Our mission was to create a dynamic identity solution that was as dynamic as their USP in market. The net result delivered a thoughtful solution that was built to support growth and scale in market, from investment, to customer acquisition. Success Story: ResiQuant secures $4M Seed Financing.

### The Super App

Client: OurglassYear: 2024

We partnered with the Founders of Ourglass to bring a Web3-first experience design to life, empowering users and consumers to engage with meaningful content expreiences that impacted their daily lives. In early-stages, we rolled out a brand architecture, visual identity/brand, design system (including iconography, pattern variants) and visual language that could seamlessly communicate the ethos of Ourglass to the world, with a level of interactivty that activated their visual senses. One-part decentralized...One-part disruptive: Ourglass is positioned to put full control back into the digital hands of its users.

### The Ultimate Operational Resilience Solution

Client: Interos

Working alongside the Senior Marketing & Leadership Teams within Interos, we unpacked a well-defined business strategy into a compelling brand experience, over a multi-year engagement. As Interos is completely redefining their industry, we took a radically different approach in designing, building, and architecting their brand identity, visual language, data design — all the way through to a customer/partner facing digital experience. Success Story: During the time of our multi-year partnership, Interos Raises $100 Million to Protect Supply Chains from Disruption. NightDragon leads the round, which values Interos at more than $1 billion, making it one of the few female-led unicorns
