Creative technology studio

Every project here starts the same way — something worth building.

I started Cryptid Studio to stay creative, and that's grown into products I use myself and client work across branding, UX, development, and design. Different projects, same instinct: figure out what actually helps, and make it.

Our products

Things we made because we wanted them to exist

Each one started as something that bugged me enough to go build a fix for it.

Rootbound

In development

A cozy witchcraft life-sim, in active development from zero coding experience.

You inherit a dying witch's cottage, revive the land plot by plot, and slowly uncover what happened to the witch who came before you — with a familiar who chose you, for reasons no one will explain. The core game — farming, trade, relationships, calming corrupted land — is built and playable. Art, dialogue, and additional content are still in progress.

Debt Constellation

In beta

Every payment lights a star

A gamified debt payoff tracker that turns each debt into a star in a personal constellation. As debts get paid down, their stars brighten and glow, making progress feel visible and rewarding instead of just numbers on a spreadsheet.

Change of Chart

In beta

Where your planets touch the ground.

A personal astrocartography map that calculates entirely in the browser — no backend, no signup. Enter your birth details and see where each planet was rising, setting, or at its highest point around the world, explained in plain language instead of ephemeris data.

Field notes from the studio

One letter a month: what we shipped, what we killed, and what we're still puzzling over. No growth tactics, no drip sequence.
