A studio, not
an agency.

// Seven people, eleven years, two cities along the Tigris and Euphrates. We take on four projects a year and we finish them. Ask anyone who's worked with us — we'll send the list.

The garage

Two friends, one client, a shared SSH key. First commit pushed from a rooftop in Al-Ghadeer after midnight tea.

Rewrote every vendor contract with a carbon clause. The hosting bill dropped; the conscience did not.

/05/Why us

The quiet part.

Honest estimates
We give ranges, not theatrics. 80% of our fixed bids land within 6% of the estimate.
Boring tech, on purpose
We'd rather ship a Rails monolith that still works in 2035 than a framework that's cool this quarter.
Paid to think
First two weeks are discovery. We charge for it. You keep the artifacts even if we part ways.
We stay
78% of our revenue is from clients who came back. The work is better when you already know the soil.
