Design & development studio

Design that earns attention.

A senior-only studio building brands, products and apps for companies that plan to be here in ten years.

Trusted by teams at

Fintech, climate, healthcare, commerce and developer tools — since 2016.

How we work

A small senior team. Two projects at a time. No juniors learning on your budget.

02 / What we do

Eight disciplines, one team, no handoffs.

Strategy, design and engineering sit in the same room and ship in the same sprint. Take the whole thing or the piece you are missing.

  • We start with the uncomfortable questions. Who is this actually for, what do they believe now, and what has to change for them to choose you? Everything downstream is cheaper when this part is right.

Flagship capability/ Mobile

Mobile apps that feel native, not merely shipped.

Most studios hand you a website in a shell and call it an app. We build the real thing — one codebase, both stores, and the small frictionless details people never consciously notice but always feel.

iOSAndroidOne codebase
  • 01

    One codebase, two stores

    React Native and Expo, so iOS and Android ship from a single source of truth — not two teams quietly drifting apart.

  • 02

    Gestures that track the finger

    Interaction runs on the native thread at sixty frames. No web view wearing an app costume.

  • 03

    Offline that works on a train

    Local-first data, queued writes, and sync that reconciles itself the moment the signal comes back.

  • 04

    Through review, first time

    EAS pipelines, staged rollouts and store metadata handled — no two-week scramble the week before launch.

Shipped apps

Apps out in the world, not in a deck.

Real screens from apps we have designed and built, live in the stores and in people's hands every day.

Deutsch mit Tim und Tina

A companion app for a German course for children. Point the camera at a page of the book and the app finds it, then opens its audio and vocabulary — alongside videos, playful mini-games and rewards that keep young learners coming back.

New capability/ TON

Web3 on TON, inside an app they already have.

TON is the chain Telegram built, and that changes the first ninety seconds of every product: no extension, no seed phrase, no browser tab. The Mini App opens in a chat with the wallet already beside it. We build everything after that — on a chain that settles asynchronously and punishes anyone who pretends it does not.

Telegram-nativeFees sponsoredExternally audited
  • 01

    Opens where they already are

    A Telegram Mini App and TON Connect, so the first run is two taps inside a chat. No extension, no seed phrase, no app store — the wallet is already sitting next to your product.

  • 02

    Contracts for an async chain

    Tact and FunC, exercised in Blueprint's sandbox and then handed to an external auditor. TON has no atomic cross-contract call, so every flow is designed around messages that can arrive late or bounce back.

  • 03

    Fees nobody has to fund

    W5 wallets and a relayer, so the app pays the network fee and your customer never buys Toncoin to get started. When they do pay, they can pay in your jetton instead.

  • 04

    Traced to settled, not to sent

    One tap can spawn four messages across four contracts, and any of them can bounce. We follow the whole trace before the interface says it worked — the single thing that makes most TON products feel broken.

Nothing reaches mainnet without an external audit and a full run on testnet. That is a gate, not a phase we can compress when the launch date moves.

Education technology

Software for a room with thirty children in it.

Learning platforms, exams, mobile revision and smart board applications — designed in real classrooms and built to survive a school network. We made a page that shows it working.

  • 01

    Smart board apps

    Pardus ETAP, Android and Windows, from one codebase.

  • 02

    Platforms & exams

    Homework to report card, as one product.

  • 03

    Built with teachers

    Prototyped on the real board, piloted with one class.

03 / How it goes

A process with no mystery in it.

You will always know what week we are in, what we are making, and what we need from you. Here is the whole thing.

  1. 01Week 1–2

    Listen

    We interview your team, your customers, and the people who said no. We read your support tickets. We come back with a point of view, not a questionnaire.

  2. 02Week 2–4

    Frame

    The strategy gets written down in language a new hire could understand. Scope is agreed, risks are named, and we all sign the same sentence about what success is.

  3. 03Week 4–12

    Make

    Design and engineering run together, not in sequence. You see working software in the browser every Friday, and you can change your mind while changing it is still cheap.

  4. 04Week 12–16

    Ship

    Performance budgets met, accessibility audited, documentation written. We hand over a codebase your team can own and a system they can extend.

  5. 05Ongoing

    Sharpen

    We watch what real people do with it, and we keep going. Small, measured improvements, shipped continuously.

Five phases, sixteen weeks for a typical engagement. Longer builds repeat phases three and four in sprints.

04 / In their words

“We interviewed nine studios. K10 was the only one that pushed back on the brief in the first meeting — and they were right to.”
