Company , ÄKTA Design Studio

BIO

ÄKTA is Chicago's premier UI/UX studio for products of all shapes, sizes, and platforms. We can promise you that working with AKTA will be a different experience than with other firms. We don’t play games, sell snake oil, hide behind smoke & mirrors, sugar coat, nickel & dime, or overuse metaphors.

Born in 2010, AKTA Web Studio has quickly become a boutique powerhouse of top-tier thinkers, from psychologists to product strategists, technologists and artists, who came together from all over the United States (and some from overseas) to create a fun, energetic, and passionate product design team.

A visit to our beautiful downtown Chicago loft studio will give you a good idea of what we are all about. You won't find cubicles or any closed offices, but rather bright colored walls, lots of toys, an Olympic-sized ping-pong arena, and a collection of some of the most gifted designers in the country.
