Little Miss Robot

What Little Miss Robot does

Little Miss Robot is a Belgian human-centred digital product agency founded in 2009 in Ghent, operating as part of the Leap Forward Group alongside Knight Moves, Once, Anvil, and Fluo. The company designs, builds, and ships digital products for a client base that spans Belgian enterprise, public sector, and cultural institutions, with 32 team members across its Ghent headquarters and Antwerp office. Its portfolio of named customers includes Belfius (Re=Bel investment platform), SD Worx (HR learning platform), Aquafin (citizen-facing website), KMSKA (museum audioguide app), PSA (Port of Antwerp team app), Roularta Media Group (multi-brand design system), Acerta (FlexPay), and Henchman/LexisNexis (legal workflow redesign).

Service offerings cover mobile applications built on hybrid frameworks such as Ionic with Capacitor, React Native, and Flutter; web applications on React, Next.js, Vue, and Node; and Craft CMS-based websites. Adjacent services include UX/UI design, design system creation in Figma following atomic design principles, and interactive prototyping supported by FLOW, the agency's internally developed Figma wireframing library (2,043 components, 156 variables, ~26,000 public users). The agency's work is project-based and quote-based with no published pricing tiers, ranging from short design sprints to multi-year partnerships.

The go-to-market motion is consultative, sales-led, and inbound-driven through a Belgian website with multiple contact funnels; community channels such as the Product Design Meetup (20 events, 3,100+ attendees) and Craft CMS Meetup Belgium (8 events, 350+ attendees) generate mid-funnel brand equity and top-of-funnel developer mindshare via FLOW. Little Miss Robot is privately held under Leap Forward Group, with no disclosed external funding or revenue figures.
