In their words
They work like part of our own studio — not an agency you brief and wait on.

How it works
A design team in three steps
No recruiting, no contracts to negotiate, no equipment to buy. Tell us the skill set you need and we handle the rest.
01
Tell us what you need
A 20-minute call to scope the software, output volume and time zone overlap your projects demand. We meet on Zoom, Google Meet or whichever platform your team already uses.
02
Meet your designer
We shortlist from our in-house team and you interview them yourself. Replace any match, free, in the first two weeks.
03
Start on retainer
They join your tools and stand-ups as an extension of your studio. Scale hours up or down monthly. Your designer works your time zone and your working hours.
Capabilities
Everything from concept plan to final render
Our designers work in the tools your practice already runs on, and deliver files your team can pick up and build from.
Interior design
Layouts, material and finish schedules, furniture selection, and styled interior visuals.
- Mood boards
- FF&E
- Finish schedules
- Detailing
SketchUp 3D modeling
Accurate, clean, well-organised models built to your template — ready for LayOut or downstream teams.
- SketchUp
- Revit
- AutoCAD
- Rhino
Rendering & visualization
Photoreal stills, walkthrough animations and client-ready presentation boards that win the pitch.
- V-Ray
- Enscape
- Lumion
- Twinmotion

Testimonials
What practices tell us

Principal, Whitfield Architects
★★★★★
“The SketchUp models come in cleaner than what we were producing in-house. That was the surprise.”
Founder, Rossi Design Build
★★★★★
“Renders that used to take us ten days now land in three. It changed how we pitch.”
Director, Chen Interiors
Why Orlixs Designs
We hire them, pay them and manage them. You just get world-class work.
A full outsource firm — not a marketplace
Every designer is our employee. Recruitment, contracts, salaries, benefits, leave cover, equipment and appraisals are all ours to run. You hold one service agreement with us and nothing more.
Your time zone, your working hours
Your designer works your calendar and your working day, joins your stand-ups, and turns briefs around inside your own hours — not overnight, not on a delay.
You pay us. We pay them.
One monthly invoice covers the seat, the software and the quality review. No payroll to run, no recruitment fees, no HR admin, no hidden costs.
Senior craft, without the senior price
Architects and 3D artists trained on Western codes, drawing standards and client expectations — at a fraction of the cost of the equivalent local hire.
