Cadabra Studio

Cadabra Studio operates as what they call a "UX Trauma Center," specializing in rescuing failing digital products and diagnosing problems before they become crises. Since 2015, the Amsterdam-based team of 21-30 has worked with over 80 companies to recover, rebuild, and scale SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and AI products. Their approach treats design issues as symptoms rather than root causes, starting with comprehensive UX audits and product strategy diagnoses before moving to treatment and rebuilds. The company's methodology follows a medical model: Emergency Scan to detect critical failures, Diagnosis Report analyzing user behavior and system bottlenecks, Treatment Plan aligning business and user logic into scalable architecture, and AfterCare to stabilize metrics and prevent regression. This process addresses what the team sees as a common industry blind spot—the assumption that products need redesigns when they actually need strategic recovery. Cadabra Studio handles both design and development in-house, allowing their developers and designers to work directly together from Figma to production code. With a 5.0 rating across 25 Clutch reviews, Cadabra Studio currently allocates 40% of their services to AI development, 30% to custom software development, and 15% each to IT staff augmentation and UX/UI design. They serve clients ranging from small businesses to enterprises across medical, insurance, real estate, and other sectors. The team treats each engagement as either crisis intervention for products already struggling with low conversions and user churn, or preventive care for companies looking to avoid those problems entirely.
