Agustin Dell’Aquila

Designer and developer. Buenos Aires.

Hey, I’m Agustin. I have been designing and building websites on my own from Buenos Aires for four years. That is 48 clients in 12 countries, with no employees and no account manager in between. You write to me, and I am the one who writes back.

I design inFigmaand build inFramerorNext.js.Which one is a decision about your project and not about me, and I will say so when the cheaper answer is the right one.

Buenos Aires is flat, so once or twice a year I go down toTierra del FuegoTierra del Fuego, where my girlfriend is from, and stay a while. I see mountains as a mindset: progress through patience, discipline, and effort. That is how I work. It is why I take few projects at once. Not to go slower, but so the one I am on gets all of it.

2026

Shipped ThisDay: a day, held in one place. Designed, built and put on the App Store on my own. 

Ongoing development for , gaming infrastructure behind $2B of funding and 700+ studios.

Hosted the first Framer event in Argentina in July, and I believe the first in Latin America. 

In July I met the team at their offices in person, three years after the work started coming through them.

47 clients across 12 countries, four years in.

2025

Recognised as an official Framer Expert in January.

Featured on Contra in March, and by September 200+ discovery points there put me in the top 1% of creatives on the platform, globally.

In December Framer followed me, along with both founders and much of the team, for being the first to submit a #FramerChallenge video.

Designed and built Parkour: a studio that did not want a website, so it became a top-down world you move around instead.

2024

Started Framer ES in October, so the community had somewhere to read the tool in its own language.

Started the YouTube channel, longer takes on how a site gets designed and shipped.

9 countries on the client list by August.

2023

Put the practice on Contra, which is where most of the work has been hired since.

Working hard ::: on Akila foundations and systems. 

2022

Founded ::: now Akila Studio ::: in October, and started taking client work on my own from Buenos Aires. No employees, no account manager, and it has stayed that way.

THOUGHTS :::

Things I keep coming back to.

Not advice, and not borrowed. These are mine, and the line under each one is what it actually means, because a sentence like this without its reason is a fortune cookie.

  1. Reveal your reality, never your vision. In chess, the only words that matter are “checkmate”.
  2. There is only one thing in the entire world that we have total control of.Our thoughts.
  3. (AI + AA) × A = IHPInnate attributes plus acquired attributes, multiplied by attitude, is individual human potential. Attitude is the multiplier, which is why it is the one worth working on.
  4. What you reap, will grow.The effort and the actions you put in today are what turn into growth and results later.
  5. Make things you don’t entirely like.Give yourself room to be creative. Do not let perfectionism take over, and let yourself make mistakes.
  6. Everything is in order in a black hole.When you feel overwhelmed, remember that in chaos there is freedom. A black hole’s perfect order leaves no room for anything to change, and a messy moment is full of possibility. Embrace the disorder. It means you are still moving.
  7. You can’t control the wind, but you can adjust your sails.It is not what happens to you, it is how you react to it.

Bring me the idea.
I’ll take it live.

Positioning, design, build, handover. You talk to the person doing the work, because there is nobody else to talk to.
