I didn’t start in design. I started in law and strategy, advising startups across Silicon Valley. Over 16 years I was part of six startups: built three from scratch, joined three more at the ground floor, exited two. I earned a Masters in Management and served as Director of Strategy at a Silicon Valley firm, sitting in rooms where nine-figure decisions happened.
Through all of it I watched the same pattern. The product worked. The team was strong. But the pitch deck confused investors and the brand was forgettable, so the story never landed.
Zamora Design exists to fix that. We settle the story before we design how it looks, which is why our clients have raised over $700M.

Most design agencies report client logos. We report what the work produced. Over 16 years and 545+ projects, clients have raised more than $700M using materials we built. From seed-stage pitch decks to enterprise rebrands, a San Francisco studio working with challenger brands.
We learn your business, your audience, and what success looks like. You talk, we listen. Most of what matters surfaces here.
(02)Strategy
We define the narrative before we touch a pixel. Positioning, structure, messaging. You approve the direction before design begins.
(03)Design
We build it. You review it. Three rounds to get it right. Every typeface, color, and layout decision traces back to the strategy.
(04)Delivery
Final files, source files, and a quick guide so your team doesn’t break it later. Plus 15 to 45 days of support after delivery, depending on the project.

I have really enjoyed working and collaborating with Borja. I needed design presentation help when we were doing an internal event. He provided stunning and impactful visuals to go with the theme of the event. His slide presentation brought the presenter’s storytelling to life. The conceptual images worked seamlessly with our provided content. Borja was so helpful and played such an instrumental part in our event’s success in the many slide presentations that he designed and supported.

Yes. Zamora Design is based in San Francisco and has delivered 545+ projects for clients across four continents, with most work running remotely. Bay Area clients can meet in person, which matters when the project is a fundraise narrative or a brand positioning session. Time zone overlap with US investors and buyers is part of why founders choose a San Francisco studio.
You work directly with the founder. Strategy and creative direction stay with the same person who was part of six startups and served as Director of Strategy in Silicon Valley, and execution runs through a small senior team. No account managers, no junior designers learning on your budget. Across 545+ projects, 95% of revenue comes from returning clients, because the person who understands your business is the one doing the work.
Large agencies layer account managers, project coordinators, and junior designers between you and the work. At Zamora Design the person who runs your competitive analysis is the person who presents the concepts. Clients have raised over $700M using materials built this way, including femtoAI ($50M Series B) and DTF Advisors ($100M Fund I). Fewer handoffs, faster decisions, nothing lost between the strategy and the design.
Story-first design means every design decision is grounded in a business objective.
