A small studio with big standards.
We're an independent design studio based on Brickell Avenue in Miami, helping American businesses build brands people trust.
Stephane Cantarel
Owner & Managing Director
Stephane has spent more than fifteen years working at the intersection of business and design. After managing creative projects for hospitality and real estate companies across Florida, he took over Design With Usman with one simple goal: give small and mid-sized businesses access to the kind of thoughtful, strategic design usually reserved for big brands.
Today he oversees every client relationship personally, making sure projects stay on budget, on schedule and true to what each business stands for.

Started with one logo. Built on referrals.
Design With Usman began in 2017 as a freelance practice creating logos for local Miami restaurants. Word spread, the projects grew, and the studio expanded into websites, packaging and marketing design.
In 2021 we moved into our office at 2475 Brickell Ave and formalized as Design With Usman LLC. Most of our new clients still come from referrals — which we think says more than any ad could.
- 2017 – First client projects in Miami
- 2019 – Expanded into web design and development

How we work.
Honesty
Clear quotes, realistic timelines and straight answers — even when it's not what you want to hear.
Craft
We sweat the details: spacing, typography, load speed and accessibility all matter.
Results
Beautiful is the minimum. Good design should also bring in leads and sales.
Partnership
Many clients have worked with us for 5+ years. We're here long after launch.
