Aanya
Design Lead — Brand & Identity
We are a 40-person digital technology company based in Noida, India. Since 2015 we have helped over 1,000 businesses across the UK, USA, Ireland, Australia, the Middle East, and beyond with design, development, and AI.
I started Dream Steps in 2015 with a simple belief — that great design and technology should be accessible to every business, not just the big ones. Ten years later, that belief has not changed. We have just got a lot better at delivering it.
We started in 2015 with design and branding work. Small logos, packaging projects, identities for businesses in the UK and locally in Noida. As the work landed, clients asked us if we could build the websites too. Then the apps. Then, more recently, if we could help them use AI in the parts of their business that were eating their week.
Ten years later, we're 40 professionals across design, engineering, AI, and client services — all full-time, all in our Noida office. We've delivered for over 1,000 businesses in more than 20 countries. We still take on logo projects. We also ship platforms that millions of people use. The thing that hasn't changed is what we look for in a project: a real business problem, a client who actually wants to solve it, and the willingness to do the unglamorous work to get there.
If that sounds like a fit, I'd love to talk. I take the first call on every new project myself — no slides, no junior account exec, no pitch theatre. Just 30 minutes on what you're trying to do and whether we're the right team to help.
Seven milestones in ten years. None of them accidental.
One laptop, one client, one room. The first invoice goes out for a logo and brand identity for a UK retailer. The early belief: do design well, and the rest will follow.
Our first UK client signs on for a brand identity project. A small design community in London starts referring us. The UK quickly becomes our biggest market and stays that way for the next decade.
Logo work turns into brand systems. Brand systems turn into WordPress builds. We bring in our first full-time engineers. Laravel and React enter the daily stack. First Australian client signs on.
A handful of clients ask for mobile apps in the same year. We build out a dedicated mobile team and ship our first apps to the App Store and Google Play. Door2Door in Belize comes on as a long-term client.
We pass 500 businesses helped. eCommerce, Shopify, and Amazon storefront work grow into a steady line. Our first Middle East clients come on through the UAE. The first clients from 2017 sign on for their fourth and fifth projects — which becomes the pattern we're known for.
We start shipping LLM features into client products — smarter search, automated lead routing, AI assistants on customer-support channels. For GreenergyAir in North Carolina, we build a custom AI monitoring system alongside their website rebuild and Google Ads programme.
We pass 1,000 businesses helped. 40 professionals across design, engineering, AI, and client services. Working with clients in the UK, USA, Ireland, Australia, the Middle East, Europe and beyond. Same operating model we started with in 2015 — now with the team to deliver on it at scale.

Most agencies pitch deliverables before they understand the business. We do the opposite. The first conversation is about your customers, your margins, your team, the thing that keeps you up at 2am. Then we work out what to build.
Half of our work each year comes from clients we've had for three years or more. A handful have been with us for over five. We optimise for the relationship, not the invoice — which usually means saving you money on the first project.
No jargon. No status reports that say nothing. No surprise change orders. You hear from a real person on your project every week. If something is going off-track, you'll know about it before it becomes a problem.
Shipping the file is not the job. The job is what happens after. We stay involved after launch, watch how the work performs in the real world, and tell you the truth about what's working and what needs to change.
