Positioning
Lumin leads the homepage because it proves the studio is building a real product, not just presenting atmosphere without execution.
Studio
Privado Designs is an independent app studio built for original digital products.
One builder. Strong identity. Serious execution. The goal is not to look like a bloated agency. The goal is to build a recognizable product studio over time.
Independent by design
Privado Designs is a solo studio focused on original apps with strong visual identity and long-term ownership.
Product-first thinking
The work is presented through real products, intentional systems, and polished user experience instead of vague creative filler.
Built to compound
The studio is meant to grow through multiple products, not one launch and then silence.
Direction
What belongs here
This homepage should prove the studio, not dump every app at once.
Home should establish the studio, feature the strongest product, and direct visitors toward the full apps page. That keeps it clear and controlled.
Keep Lumin as the homepage proof point
Use /apps for the broader product catalog
Use /legal as the legal hub for policies and required information
