Abstract, based in San Francisco, is a design services company that emerged around 2017 to address the absence of effective version control for design work. Its core platform allows design teams to manage, version, and document design files in a single, centralized space. The platform has been adopted by more than 7,000 companies, including Wayfair, Cisco, Docusign, Microsoft, and Zendesk. In practice, Abstract supports activities beyond drawing and prototyping—such as tracking tasks, reviewing designs, and gauging what changes work—an approach described as design intelligence. In January 2025, Abstract Studio Design, Inc. launched a built-in rewards system and unveiled a mainnet, signaling an expanded product scope beyond core collaboration. The company is based in San Francisco and operates within the design services industry, with a history of product evolution that includes the Notebooks launch in 2021 and the ability to version Adobe XD files alongside Sketch files introduced in 2019.
