How the studio is run
No timesheets
We price by outcome and staff by judgement. Nobody logs quarter-hours, and nobody's bonus depends on billing more of them.
Fridays are for learning
No client work on Fridays. People read, build things that might not work, and teach each other. Most of our tooling came from a Friday.
Two projects at a time, maximum
Each person is on at most two projects, and usually one. That's why we say no more often than we'd like.
Owned by the people in it
Two partners, no outside money, no plan to sell. The studio exists to do the work, not to be an exit.
