Small, senior, and opinionated on purpose.
Decades of combined engineering experience, applied with tools that didn't exist three years ago. We keep the team small because a few experienced people directing AI ship more, and better, than a large one billing hours. We keep our opinions because every decision we've already made is one you don't pay for.
Four things we won't trade away.
01
You own everything
Code, repositories, accounts. Ours to run while you want us to, yours the moment you don't.
02
Fixed price, written scope
A Blueprint before a quote, a quote before a build. If we misjudged the effort, that's our cost.
03
People in charge of the tools
AI writes the first draft of most of what we ship. Engineers who could have written it decide what ships.
04
Boring where it should be
Mainstream stack, standard configurations, nothing clever that only one person understands. You can hire for what we build.
The people you'll actually talk to.
No account managers. A project manager keeps the plan honest; the engineers answer the technical questions themselves.

The stack, and why.
Defaults, not dogma. Each one is a decision we've already made so you don't pay for it twice. We change them when something better proves itself, and we'll tell you when your project is the exception.
01
TypeScript everywhere
Go or Rust where performance demands it, and nowhere else.
02
Turborepo monorepos
Every build, every time. One repository, one design system, shared packages.
03
React across the product
Next.js or TanStack Start. Your site, app and admin share one design system; no second stack to hire for.
04
Tailwind + a shadcn-based design system
Shaped to your brand. A system you can extend, where a bare theme leaves you stuck.
05
Postgres with Drizzle
By default. MongoDB when the data genuinely calls for it.
06
Hono, oRPC, TanStack Query
Typed end to end, from database to screen.
07
Better Auth
You own your users. Your auth isn't rented.
08
React Native first on mobile
Swift or Kotlin when the app needs the platform's full capability.
09
Tauri or Electron on desktop
Chosen per case, sharing code with the web app where it makes sense.
10
AI SDK or Mastra
As the harness for anything AI, so you're never locked to one model vendor.
11
Infrastructure sized to the project
Railway or Coolify first, dedicated Kubernetes on Hetzner when needed, Cloudflare R2 for storage. We don't default to AWS and its bills.
12
Oxlint and oxfmt
Tooling fast enough that nobody skips it.
Half of a company built to launch startups.
Miistudio and Nexel Studio share one parent, Nexel Creative. Nexel Studio does brand, strategy and marketing; we do product and infrastructure. Each team does only what it specialises in, and a founder deals with one organisation for both. We are also Nexel Studio's engineering team, which is how our white-label offer got started.

We run products of our own on the stack and infrastructure we put under client work.
