What Ship One Studio does

Ship One Studio is a privately-held, bootstrapped design and development agency founded in 2020 by Igor Kozlov and headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, with a secondary Ship One L.L.C. entity supporting international operations. The studio operates with a core team of 5-6 professionals covering 3D modeling and product visualization, UX/UI design, illustration and branding, pitch deck creation, and web/app development in Python, Java, and React. Its service portfolio is delivered through project-based engagements with custom estimation and pricing, targeting two primary segments: bootstrapped startup founders needing rapid design-to-market solutions and established businesses requiring comprehensive creative and technical capabilities. The studio's customer base is diversified across verticals including advertising technology (Adtrackify), solar energy (Sun Tech), publishing (Holz, Book by Story), consumer products (Soupline), AI/personality testing (Interpersonality), data analytics (Protobi), food/seafood (Buy Me Lobster), and pet products (Your Pets Toon).

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on email, phone, and a multi-channel presence across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Behance, Dribbble, Medium, YouTube, Clutch, and Upwork for inbound lead generation. The company uses Stripe for payment processing and Trello for project workflow management on certain engagements. Notable differentiators highlighted by the company include an isometric illustration style, 3D product visualization capabilities, and a team with backgrounds at major publishers including BBC, ABC Network, SKY Sports, and TIME Inc. The company has no disclosed external funding, no patents, and no proprietary technology beyond its creative output and portfolio, with revenue generated entirely through professional services billing.
