WE ARE PARLAK +

Welcome to Parlak +, a New York-based design consultancy founded by Meltem Parlak. With my trusted companion Alfie by my side, I’ve built Parlak + as a space where creativity thrives, collaboration flourishes, and every project is approached with a commitment to excellence.

At Parlak +, our mission is clear: to craft human-centered designs that enrich lives and foster meaningful connections. We believe that design is more than aesthetics—it’s about solving real-world challenges with empathy and intention.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We approach each project as a true partnership, bringing together diverse perspectives to uncover insights and develop innovative solutions. Whether we’re designing a product, building a brand identity, or enhancing user experiences, we prioritize understanding the people at the center of every challenge.


WHAT WE DO

Parlak + specializes in user experience design, design strategy, and product design. We work closely with clients to transform great ideas into tangible realities that not only look beautiful but also resonate deeply with users. From developing brand identities that tell compelling stories to creating products that inspire joy and utility, our work is driven by a passion for thoughtful, impactful design.

USER EXPERIENCE

We start with the user at the heart of every design. Through in-depth research, we uncover users' needs, behaviors, and preferences, transforming these insights into intuitive and engaging experiences that delight and empower.

DESIGN STRATEGY

We develop innovative strategies that align with your brand’s vision and goals. Using data-driven insights and creative problem-solving, we craft solutions that not only elevate your brand but also foster meaningful connections with your audience.

PRODUCT DESIGN

We design products that are as functional as they are beautiful. From concept to creation, we focus on enriching everyday life through designs that inspire joy, encourage interaction, and enhance usability.
