The studio
About
A studio of two, in San Francisco.
Studio AM is two people making things. One builds software: mobile apps and web services. The other makes visuals: design, illustration and the occasional game. We share this site as a home for whatever we ship.
We also run QuickenBrain, a free mental gym anyone can walk into, and Doodling AM, a doodle pad where drawings come to life. Our guides, library and tools are at teamam.org.
What we make
The work spans more than one medium because we do. Some of it is engineered and shipped as web services and apps. Some of it is drawn, painted, or designed. Some of it sits in between: small experiments that wouldn't fit a portfolio site built around a single craft.
Putting it all under one roof is the point. We don't pick which half to show; we show the work as it is.
Make something. Finish it. Put it out.
How we work
On our own schedule, on things we find worth making. We don't take client work. Everything published here is something one of us wanted to exist.
What we believe
Finish it
Unfinished work doesn't count. We'd rather ship a small thing end-to-end than collect ideas that never leave the sketch.
Across crafts
Engineering and visual work share the same site, the same standards, and the same name. Neither side is filler.
Own it
We work on what we want, take our time, and answer to the work, not to a roadmap, a client or a quarter.
Get in touch
Email is the best way to reach us, whether that is a question about something we made, feedback on an app, or a kind note. We read everything, and we read it from real people, not a queue.
