Chris was honestly fantastic to work with - I couldn’t recommend Telescope enough. Amazing attention to detail and skills across a broad range of areas from web design, to app design and more.
Co-founder, Runna
We chose Telescope because they continuously demonstrated the skills that we value highly - proactive and honest communication, open collaboration and deep expertise in their field.

Hi! My name is Chris Ashby, a designer, startup advisor and product nerd of 15+ years. My passion is helping the next generation of startups thrive and grow.
I founded Telescope to do just that, and for the last 4 years I've operated Telescope entirely solo delivering incredible results for incredible startups with a unique AI-native approach.
Strategic alignment is how Telescope operates. This is how we prioritise ideas, explore opportunities, and present designs face-to-face.
Design should support your business, not harm it. That means moving fast, iterating faster, and delivering exactly what's needed to help you grow.
Leverage insight from advising over 50+ startups on design and product to find new, metric-moving approaches to product.
New AI tools means long tedious research phases, endless design variations and boxy wireframes are a thing of the past.
