From a concept born in 2017 to a modern, thriving agency that redines the design process, Devolfs has become a beacon of innovation in the creative industry.
Devolf’s subscription-based model and client-first approach has earned them the title of e-Revolutionaries Agency of the Year––2024!
We sat down with Leonardo Susnja, to learn more about their journey, unique offerings and plans for the future.
Can you give us a brief overview of Devolfs and the inspiration behind its creation?
Leonardo: Devolfs is a design subscription service aimed at simplifying the design process for companies. With diverse experience across numerous projects, we empower clients to transform their ideas into reality.
We founded in 2022, five years after the concept was born in 2017. Devolfs was created to deliver high-quality, functional designs with a smooth process from start to finish. Over a decade of experience has made us efficient and effective masters in bringing ideas to life.
What qualities make the Devolfs team unique?
Leonardo: Our team is led by two experienced designers. They each have a deep understanding of optimizing design processes. A talented group of experts works alongside them in design, management and development. This ensures that every project benefits from both creative and operational excellence. We’re not just an external agency—we work so closely with clients that it feels like we’re part of their team.
How does Devolfs’ unique model improve the client experience compared to traditional design services?
Leonardo: Our subscription-based model provides companies with a complete design team at a transparent price, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Through DVLFS Hub (our custom software) clients can easily manage their teams, create requests and track hours.
We operate like a SaaS product, making high-quality design services accessible, efficient and easy to use. This approach eliminates the complexities of traditional design services, allowing startups and agencies to focus on their goals while we handle the details.
Can you share a success story from a client who benefited from your subscription-based approach?
Leonardo: One standout example is Dan––founder of EcomFreedom.
Dan needed a streamlined approach to improve the design of his ecommerce platform. Our team integrated seamlessly into his workflow, collaborating directly with his developer to deliver exceptional results.
He was thrilled to share his experience:
"Honestly, what's amazing is that I told them what I wanted, and they worked on it in the background, back and forth with my developer. I almost didn't have to do anything."
This process saved him time and delivered designs that exceeded his expectations. It allowed Dan to focus on growing his business.
What does being named e-Revolutionaries Agency of the Year mean to Devolfs?
Leonardo: Being named Agency of the Year is a huge honor for us. This year marked a turning point as we transitioned to a subscription-based model, and this recognition validates that decision.
It’s incredibly rewarding to see our vision understood and appreciated. We’re especially thankful to Xolo for providing this platform to showcase our work and connect with other innovators. This milestone inspires us to continue innovating and sharing our ideas openly.
What trends in design and branding are you most excited about?
Leonardo: We’re particularly excited about the potential of AI in design. While AI has already transformed some aspects of our daily work, there’s still so much to learn about its capabilities and limitations.
That said, the essence of design remains unchanged: It’s about creating for humans. Trends will always evolve, but staying true to the purpose of design—serving and connecting people—is what drives us forward.
What are your main goals for Devolfs in the coming year?
Leonardo: In 2025, we aim to:
- Enhance DVLFS Hub with more features to improve the client experience.
- Introduce more flexible packages to cater to diverse needs.
- Expand our internal team to support growth.
- Build stronger, long-term partnerships with clients.
Exciting developments are ahead, and we’re ready to take Devolfs to new heights.
