About
We're a research and design studio for thinkers, makers, systems, and software.
Work
Explore the studio through active experiments.
Products, prototypes, visual systems, AI tools, and open-source research built with the same design standard.
Utsuwa
An open-source web and desktop app for creating and animating AI-powered virtual characters. An alternative to xAI's Grok Companion and Razer's Project Ava.
Stargazer
A live, browser-based 3D explorer of the solar system. Click any planet, moon, or spacecraft to fly to it and see where it is right now — powered by real-time data from NASA, JPL, ESA, JAXA, and SpaceX.
Pomodorii
The most delightful pomodoro timer on the internet. A retro-console-styled focus timer with custom sounds, multi-language support, and theme toggling.
Built for creative systems
Design, prototype, ship.
The Lab uses research, visual systems, prototypes, and code to turn early ideas into designed experiences that feel considered.
