Studio
Antipodes

Studio Antipodes began as the answer to a recurring problem: premium brands with serious commerce ambitions and serious design standards were being served by teams that could meet only one of the two. The technology partners could not see; the design partners could not build.

A small studio where engineering and design are the same discipline, held to the same standard. Shopify and commerce systems, websites, automation, AI workflows and brand infrastructure — built as if they were meant to last, specified precisely, documented as they are made, handed over in a state a future team could inherit.

The studio was built around its specifications before it was built around its clients. The first year produced the working method: briefs that a coding agent or a human engineer can act on without translation; a component discipline that survives redesign; an archive of every decision.

To stay small. To refuse work that would not be documented. To write the specification before the interface. To treat the studio's own tools as products, with the same care as client work. To keep the identity of the studio separate from the identity of its founder.

A studio in its second year, with a method, a small number of long-term clients, and a body of specifications and systems that compound with each engagement. The practical engine behind everything else being built.

Products of its own. The method is being turned outward: tooling for teams who build with agents, and the first software the studio will publish under its own name.
