[02] The studio
Founded — independent and senior-led ever since.
Products, brands, and systems shipped to real users.
Disciplines under one roof, working as one team.
[03] Capabilities
- 01
Research
We start with the unknowns — user studies, technical spikes, and prototypes that turn fuzzy ambition into something you can pressure-test.
- 02
Design
Brand, product, and systems design that holds up in production — interfaces with a point of view, built on tokens and components that scale.
- 03
Software
Full-stack engineering from first commit to launch. Type-safe, observable, and fast — the kind of code base your team is glad to inherit.
- 04
AI
Applied intelligence with the seams hidden — agents, retrieval, and model-driven interfaces designed around what people actually need.
[04] Selected work
- HalcyonAI research platform
An agent workbench that turns scattered model experiments into a shared, reviewable workflow.
2025 - MeridianFintech product + brand
Zero-to-one consumer banking app and identity for a seed-stage team — design system to App Store in 14 weeks.
2024 - FieldnoteDesign system
A theming engine and component library now powering five surfaces across a Series B SaaS company.
2024 - NorthwindPlatform engineering
Rebuilt a creaking monolith into a typed, observable platform — p95 latency down 60%.

[05] How we work
- 01
Frame
We get specific about the problem before the solution — the constraints, the users, and the one outcome that matters most.
- 02
Make
Tight loops of design and code in the open. You see real, working software early and often, never a big-bang reveal.
- 03
Ship & learn
Launch is a checkpoint, not the finish line. We instrument what we build and keep sharpening it against reality.
[06] Contact
Let's build
something real.
We take on three engagements per quarter — two are taken for Q3.
Replies within one business day, from a senior — not a coordinator.
