Who We Are

An artist and an engineer, called to build together.

We're Hunter and Rory. We developed our friendship helping each other's clients — and discovered we share a bond beyond a typical business partnership.

Rory is the analytical technical mind. Hunter the spirited creative. Serendipitously, we were independently working on the same kinds of products. We knew from that moment we were called to build together.

Who We Build For

"We're building to help people self-actualize, to make their relationships stronger, to help them create from first principles. For people who want to be more, do more, and create more."

What We're Building

Where tech
meets craftsmanship.

Art

Art for Expression

Our Belief

We need you.
Let's build together.

We want to make things that matter for people that care. We believe the products of the future must stand on three pillars — and your support makes all three possible.

01

Community First

Building community first is the only way to sustainably bring products to market. We don't chase social media trends. We make things for people we genuinely care about.

02

Self-Funded

The best products are funded by the people who use them — not outside investors. External funding leads to user abuse. All our products are funded by us or the community.

03

Long Term

We build timeless products you can use your entire life, not temporary fads. To achieve this, we need people who are with us for the long term — so we can build for life.
