Design finally meets code.

Wisiwig started with a question — what if every designer could work with code?

Our mission

Wisiwig is a design QA platform for app design. Our mission is to reinvent how everyone designs, develops, and delivers software — visually and quickly.

Our story

As a product designer, Chris noticed there was no straightforward way to synchronize design files and coded interfaces. In May 2022, he and Zach Balder, a software developer, met up for coffee at Revival (Cambridge, MA) and constructed a shared vision.

As a designer and developer, they saw an opportunity to eliminate handoffs in the product development process and find a way for teams to work together. Wisiwig was born.

Wisiwig were proud members of the MassChallenge 2022 Early Stage accelerator. On October 3, 2022, they launched the first product, Wisiwig for Chrome.

Growth

We embrace change, invite feedback, and strive to improve our work and ourselves. Achieving your highest potential requires growing, changing, and learning — all important parts of our journey.

Simplicity

We believe that complexity does not equal better solutions. We strive to focus on the essentials and eliminate excess. Simple is hard. It requires significant work to reduce complexity — but we believe it is essential to our speed and success.
