Two people who kept ending up in the same voice channel, until it made more sense to build one studio than to keep freelancing around each other.

It started in a Discord server in 2020. We met in the esports world, where a loose crew of designers and builders kept landing in the same calls, taking on client work for orgs and gaming brands. Two years of late-night collab later, we knew exactly how the other one worked.

From there our paths split and sharpened. Jesse went deep on brand and graphic design. Finn moved into product. We followed the work out of esports and into web3, helping startups launch products and tokens, and we learned how to move fast without letting the craft slip.

In 2023 we made it official. Studio Sphere pulled the people we trusted most into one core team that actually works together, every day, on every project, instead of a roster of strangers assembled per brief.

Lately a lot of that work has been in fintech and technology, but we have never been a one-industry studio. Product design sits at the center, and the aim stays the same wherever we land. Make work that is unmistakably ours, with brand personality built into the product rather than bolted on afterward.

Today we are five designers at the core, backed by a wider network of specialists who ship for some of the biggest names in tech. Along the way we learned the lesson that runs through everything we make. Do less, but in far more detail. That is where the passion shows.

Mail lands with the two of us, nobody in between. hello@studiosphere.co. Tell us what you are building and where it is stuck, and one of us writes back.

The studio stays small on purpose. The core team works on everything together, and a trusted network of specialists scales us up when a launch calls for it. You always work with senior people, never a rotating cast.
