Selected work from the studio.
Dr. Ruchi Gupta
Site for a Northwestern pediatrics professor, author, and founder whose research has been featured on Netflix, the NYT, and CNN — positioning two decades of food allergy and eczema work alongside her Yobee Care brand.
Yobee Care
Doctor-founded probiotic haircare and skincare brand featured in NYT, USA Today, and CNN. Full Shopify e-commerce build with custom brand identity.
Voice Back
A voice-preservation app for people facing speech loss from ALS, surgery, and other causes — clones a voice from ten seconds of audio and gives users a customizable text-to-speech board.
A studio of two.
A studio of two principals. Every project led, designed, and built by both partners — end to end. No account managers, no handoffs, no outsourcing.
Noah Breithaupt
Noah is the technical engine of the studio. He owns the engineering side of every project — turning concepts into shipped, performant, accessible code. A Duke computer science and biology student, he brings a scientist's discipline to the build process: rigorous testing, clean architecture, and a refusal to ship anything half-finished.
Riya Jain
Riya runs the business and owns the visual identity of every project. A Duke student studying public policy and entrepreneurship — and incoming intern at Goldman Sachs — she brings a sharp commercial instinct to creative work: brand strategy, art direction, and the taste-level decisions that separate forgettable websites from ones clients are proud of.
A website, shipped in a week.
