Max Martin
Founder & Strategy Lead
Started the studio in 2014 after a decade running in-house marketing for retail and services brands. Sets the strategy on every engagement and stays on the account through launch.
About the studio
Small by design, since 2014
We are a small studio by design. The people who scope your work are the people who do it, and every project, invoice, proposal and file sits in one client portal you can open at any hour.
Where we fit
Most companies our clients talk to are either a freelancer with one skill or an agency with a account-management layer between them and the work. We sit in between: a full team across strategy, design, engineering and growth, capped at a roster size we can genuinely serve.
The client portal is the difference people notice first. Instead of chasing a status email, you open one account and see the project board, the files, the estimates, the invoices and the open tickets — the same view we work from.
- We answer portal messages on business days, and tell you when something will take longer.
- We do not resell your data or use your account information for anything outside your engagement.
- You own your accounts, code and creative files, during the engagement and after it.
Plain language
We write scopes, updates and invoices the way we would want to read them. No jargon used to make ordinary work sound complicated.
Show the work
Progress, blockers and hours are visible in the portal as they happen, not summarised at the end of a month.
Own the outcome
If something we shipped is not performing, fixing it is our problem before it is a change order.
Small on purpose
We cap the number of active engagements so that every client gets the same senior attention. Growth never comes at the cost of the roster.
The team
Four seniors. No junior bench, no rotating account managers.
Maia Gibson
Design Director
Leads brand and interface work, from identity systems to the design of the client portal itself. Fifteen years across studio and product design.
Milton Wheatly
Principal Engineer
Builds and maintains everything we ship — sites, integrations and the portal infrastructure. Handles staging, migrations and performance work.
Lindner Blake
Growth & Analytics Lead
Runs paid media, SEO programmes and reporting. Builds the measurement plan before a campaign goes live so results can actually be attributed.
