Sundial Studio
We are engineering and design leaders
who build products with intention.
How we work
Simplify, then sweat the details. We ruthlessly prioritize the fundamentals of human experience over novelty.
Craftsmanship outlasts any major fad. We ground our work in research and skill. We prefer methodology and deploy experiments only in the presence of authentic, external unknowns.
Use the right tool for the job. We listen to your long-term goals and tailor our implementation to fit. Maintainability should be a requirement.
Good code comes from good process. Our methodology is part of our offering: You'll know what we intend to deliver at the beginning of your project and, if necessary, we'll course-correct on a predictable schedule.
