Principles
How the studio works.
Direct access to the engineer
You work with the person who designs and writes your software. Nothing is lost in hand-offs or outsourced out of sight.
Privacy by design
Data minimization, consent, and security are architecture decisions, made on day one rather than patched in before launch.
Built to be owned
Clean, typed code in your own repository. You can maintain it, extend it, or hand it to another team.
