Our take

MetaLab has grown into one of the most respected design studios in the industry, with a pitch that’s as straightforward as they come: “We make interfaces”. Indeed, that’s just what the company has been doing since it launched in 2006. The list of customers that MetaLab has designed products for is worth envy – Apple, Google, Disney, Uber, Ted, Tinder, Slack, Headspace.

More remarkable still is that founder Andrew Wilkinson was only 20 when he launched MetaLab. Wilkinson has since gone on to found hyper-successful task management SaaS company Flow, as well as tech-focused holding group Tiny Capital.

It’s not just Wilkinson that’s doing well though. MetaLab as a whole has kept up with the constant shifts in the design industry, hiring Arif Mansuri as CEO from major branding company Huge in 2021. The company’s more recent work speaks to its continued success, working on breakout sports media startup The Athletic and popular meditation app Waking Up.
