Be a beacon. Build what matters.

An independent software studio — games, wellness, and the useful corners of everyday life. Each one a light we're proud to put our name on.

The Studio

Built by one. Held to a standard.

I design, build, and ship each product end to end — so every release carries the same care, whether it's a survival game or a tool to get you through a rough night.

Nothing ships unless it earns the light. The lighthouse is the point: a steady, dependable signal in a noisy sea of apps.

The beacon doesn't chase the ships. It just keeps burning, so they can find their way in.
