GRANDst is an independent design and technology studio in New York. We bring design and engineering into the same team, from the first conversation through launch.
Designers, engineers and strategists work together throughout the project. You stay in touch with the people doing the work.
A fixed project, a sprint or an ongoing role on your team. We agree on the setup that fits the work.
We try new tools in our own design and development work before recommending them to clients. That includes AI. We want to know what it helps us do and where it falls short.










In their words
Working with Neil and the GRAND st. team has been a game-changer for Pattern. The team's expertise and commitment to delivering results have helped create solid, strategic data and technology foundations across our portfolio. They are always upfront in expectation setting and thoughtful and value-focused in delivery — they are a true partner.
Suze DowlingCOO, Pattern BrandsGRAND st. was an important part of the Madhappy team over the past 3 years and has helped bring multiple versions of our digital properties to life. What makes them great partners is that we trust them to not only deliver technically but also help us make the right decisions along the way.
Peiman RafCo-Founder, MadhappyI loved how much Neil and the GRANDst team cared about the world we were creating for Rite of Way. They brought it to life online with real sensitivity to the details. Working together felt natural from the start, and they're the first people I call when we're ready to build something new.
Alex BrandsFounder, Rite of WayWorking with GRANDst felt like having people in our corner who cared about Keith's Cacao as much as we do. Neil and the team made the whole experience a pleasure, bringing our story and store together beautifully. They've become the team we turn to as we grow and share our cacao more widely.
Rick WesselsCEO, Keith’s CacaoGRANDst is our go-to team for bringing Syntetica's story to life online. They understood the ambition behind our science and translated it into a website we're proud to share. We really enjoyed the collaboration: thoughtful conversations, strong ideas, and a team that cared about getting the details right as much as we did.
Marco BertoneCo-Founder & CEO, SynteticaNeil and the GRANDst team are great people to figure things out with. They got into the idea behind Bestomer, pushed our thinking, and gave us concepts we could keep building on. Good taste, smart questions, and a lot of fun along the way. They're our first call when a new idea needs shape.
Evan SlaterBestomerWe thoroughly enjoyed working with Neil and the GRANDst team. They took the time to understand ZCG and brought care, clear communication, and sound judgment to the work. That gave us confidence throughout the process and made them a trusted partner. We now turn to them whenever we need that combination of perspective and execution.
Nina ZenniHead of Communications, ZCGGRANDst quickly became a team we could think through difficult product decisions with. Working together on the Go app was a pleasure: they understood the technical constraints and cared about how the experience felt to use. They're now the people we turn to when we need engineering and design to work closely together.
