About →

With over a decade in creative tech.

From neighborhood storefronts to global brand campaigns, the hands behind the studio have done the work at every scale. Global corporate clients and local street entrepreneurs, all on the same shelf. WebAR for blockbuster franchise launches, GIPHY stickers seen hundreds of millions of times, NFC objects for the corner shop down the block. Same discipline, same finish, same standards across all of it.

Eight arms across AR, AI, motion, spatial capture, 3D printing, custom software, web, and strategy. Standard, Brand, and Custom pricing on every service, published openly. No tiered teams, no offshore handoffs, no slide-deck theater. Quality and transparency before anything else, and the work that ships is the work.

Eight arms.

— Capability breadth —

Pricing.

— Standard / Brand / Custom —

Same craft on every tier. Standard is our small-business floor — fixed price, fast turnaround, organic use. Brand scales the scope, adds rights and revisions, and includes brand alignment. Custom is quoted per project. No mystery markup. If your project doesn’t fit a row on this page, the discovery call is free.

— 05 / Bespoke —

Custom.

Scoped per project

For the idea that doesn’t fit a package.

AR scavenger hunts across a neighborhood. A custom internal tool your team actually wants to open. A spatial-capture archive of a family business. An interactive install for a storefront window. A generative merch drop. Something we haven’t thought of yet.

If you can sketch it on a napkin, we can scope it, prototype it, and ship it. Bring the idea; we’ll tell you what it takes.

Every engagement: discovery call, written scope, milestone payments, full ownership on delivery.

— Signing bonus —

The friendly
neighborhood
creative studio.

Creative technology, made accessible. High-level work brought to the streets, at prices that fit, for clients at every scale.

— WHEREABOUTS —

Queens, NYC
Remote and on-site
across the five boroughs.

A Queens practice bringing creative technology to local clients, neighbors, small businesses, and personal projects. AR, AI, spatial capture, motion, 3D printing, web, custom software, strategy. Delivered at prices that fit.

We treat tomorrow's tech like a public good. The barrier to entry for AR or generative AI shouldn't be a $50K minimum. It should be a conversation, a clear quote, and a thing that ships.

How we work.

— Operating Principles —

— 01 / Lean studio + network —

One practice, deep bench.

A tight core with a network of trusted collaborators (motion, fabrication, photography, code, engineering) brought in per project. Direct line to the people doing the work.

— 02 / Transparent quotes —

No mystery line items.

Quotes are itemized in plain language. Tip jar, not a retainer. We tell you when something is overkill for your need.

— 03 / Local first —

Built where we live.

Queens-rooted. Designed, printed, and shot in-house. We'd rather be useful to a block in our neighborhood than impressive in a slide deck.

— Method —

S.P.D.R.

Strategic Prototyping, Design, Research.

Every engagement runs on it. Build the first version fast so it has something to react to. Design around what the prototype teaches us, not what the brief guessed. Treat the research as the work, not the pre-brief formality. It’s how we deliver global-studio craft on small-studio budgets and timelines.

Open work, public goods.

— Things we give away —

Public utilities, open code, and detailed case studies. The kind of stuff bigger studios keep behind sales calls. We publish it because the practice gets better when more people can build on top of it.
