Our Design Approach

Why we started this agency

Growing up in a small town, design was seen as a "fallback career" — something easier, less serious than other professions. Even at our first agency job as graphic designers, we were often told, “Just design. Don’t think too much.”

But we knew that good design was never easy. If it were, clients wouldn’t need professionals for it. Over time, we came to understand why people say “good design is invisible.” Every pixel we craft comes with intention. It’s not just about making things look good, but about making them work. With more clarity, better accessibility, and a smoother experience for the people using it.

Many of the friends and founders we've worked with now see design and UX as essential, not optional. Some even say great UI and UX should make them feel something — a moment of clarity, joy, or trust. That’s a standard we fully believe in.

Especially now, with AI making design faster and cheaper to produce, we believe people will start to appreciate what thoughtful design really means. In other words, good design is becoming visible.

We started From Mars to bring that belief into our work. Our goal is to help companies who value design build thoughtful brand identities and digital products. Today’s users expect more from every interaction, so we focus on the details others ignore. Our design process is guided by research and systems thinking, connecting every touchpoint into one clear and cohesive experience.

Just like the Curiosity rover scanning Martian soil, we dig deeper to uncover new perspectives and fresh potential. All without compromising on craft or speed.

We don’t just push pixels. We help businesses solve human-first problems through design that makes sense, feels right, and leaves a mark.
