52HZ is more than our name. It is a frequency for brands with something real to say. We help shape that signal into design that feels clear, distinct, and alive.
About 52HZ
Designing the signal bold brands sing — from product surface to brand world.
52HZ is an independent design studio working across UI, UX, brand, and motion. We partner with founders, product teams, and cultural shapers to forge identities that resonate at their own frequency — not just at launch, but every time the brand shows up.
Our work lives at the seam between product and culture: enterprise tools that feel handcrafted, consumer brands that act like operating systems, motion systems that turn a logo into a personality. If the market noise is loudest and you need a sound of your own, we’re ready.
MEET THE
FOUNDERS
Two designers, one frequency
Forged at Airbnb and TikTok — built for the brands of what’s next.
Evan led design systems and platform UX at Airbnb, where craft and belonging shape every pixel. Reva led brand and product motion at TikTok, where culture compounds in seconds. They met across a coffee table in 2023, recognized a frequency the other had been broadcasting alone, and started 52HZ together — a studio for brands that move at the speed of culture with the depth of craft.

The six notes we keep playing
01.
Signal Over Noise
We strip away what's loud and unnecessary so the thing that's true gets heard. Restraint is a feature.
02.
Craft With Conviction
Pixels, motion, typography, and copy — they all matter. We sweat the details no one will name but everyone will feel.
03.
Frequencies Compound
UI, brand, motion and product surfaces should sing the same note. The brand gets stronger every time they line up.
04.
Make It Move
Static is a starting point. We design how things feel — easing, timing, weight — because motion is part of the message.
05.
Bias To Build
We prototype before we slide-deck. Make it real, push it around, then refine. The Figma file is never the proof.
06.
Show Your Work
We open the studio doors. Process is part of the product. Clients see drafts, dead ends, and the path through.
Studio at a glance
Founders + a small network of specialists.
A tight-knit core, scaled by a hand-picked bench.
Every engagement is led directly by Evan and Reva. We pull in a network of senior collaborators — motion, brand, research, design engineering — depending on what the work needs. No layers. No account-managers between you and the people making it.

Join 52HZ. Find your signal.
We’re a small independent studio built around craft, not credentials. If you can sweat a kerning pair and ship a working prototype in the same week, we’d like to hear from you.
Open lanes: senior motion designer, brand designer, UX researcher, and design engineer. We also keep an open call for collaborators on a project basis — send your work, even if there’s no posting up.
