Estorya
The studio

Two people, twenty years of scars.

Estorya is small on purpose. The commercial brain the site talks about isn't a metaphor — it's the pair of people who show up on your project.

How we work

A few things we won't compromise on.

  1. 01

    One senior team, top to bottom.

    No account managers, no junior filter. The person writing the Slack messages is the person writing the code or drawing the frames.

  2. 02

    You own it from day one.

    Source files, code, credentials, brand assets — yours the moment they exist. We build to hand over, not to hold.

  3. 03

    Weekly, visible work.

    You see real output every week — a page, a print, a working screen. Never a month of silence followed by a big reveal.

  4. 04

    Fixed scope, transparent cost.

    We quote a phase, ship it, then quote the next one. You can stop after any phase with a deliverable in hand.

The credential

What underpins the "commercial brain" claim.

Most studios pair design and engineering. Very few pair either of those with someone who's spent a career on the sell-side of enterprise software. That's where our bias comes from: every deliverable — a signage system, a website, a brand refresh, an SEO rebuild — has to move the number the client actually cares about. If it doesn't, we don't ship it.

Ready when you are
