About Studio89
Founder-led thinking from the first question to the working product.
Studio89 is a digital product studio connecting strategy, product design and engineering for founders and teams with a meaningful problem to solve.
Small enough for direct communication. Broad enough to deliver the product.
The studio works across product strategy, interface design, application engineering and AI-enabled workflows. Keeping those disciplines close helps decisions stay connected from the business problem through to the experience people use.
Studio89 also creates its own products. That work keeps product decisions grounded in practical questions about usability, scope, operations and launch—not presentation alone.
Based between London and Cape Town, Studio89 works with founders, service businesses, agencies and teams internationally.
