The film didn’t load. Keep scrolling — the sprint list, what each format costs and both links are all still there.
We ship real work.Then we teach you exactly how we did it.
We come to you and *retrace a real job.*
01The offerDesign universities
Where the client started, where AI came into it, and how the thing went live. Not a case study read aloud.
Students can see the work.|They can't *touch it.*
02Who's outsideThe glass
Every studio keeps a wall like this one. Ours was no different.
So we took the wall down.Nobody made us open it. Studios keep the method because the method is the business. We decided it is worth more taught than kept.
You *sign in* to the studio.|You don't watch from outside.

A sprint is a *flat string of steps.*
04How it runsAI bots · 7 steps
One after another, each feeding the next. Tiers change the depth, never the order. This is an AI bot, all seven of them:
01 Act like — the expert it becomes
02 Context — who it answers, and where
03 Deeply — how far it is allowed to go

08Case filmSystem design · 10
Not a website — the back office. Every client, every order, every stage, every tick, and who did it. The team works their whole day inside it, which is the only test that counts.
And we trained its *spokesperson.*
09Case filmAI avatar
The same client needed a face for the numbers, so we trained one instead of booking one: persona, voice, script, delivery, take after take until it held. Written up in full.
Case: *VELDT.*
10Case filmWritten up
A marketing team handed the keys to their own site. Built to be edited by the people who run it, not by us.
Case: *SPEC.*

Specify a supercar, screen by screen. Every choice a customer makes had to feel like it costs what it costs.
Case: *NEEDLE.*

A digital speedometer for a compact SUV, drawn to run on almost no memory. Constraint first, then beauty.
No photographer.|No camera. *Direction.*

15FormatsFour ways in
Four ways to bring the studio in. Same live projects, same method — what changes is how long you have and who is in the room.
LEC Lecture or one-day workshop — one real project retraced end to end
SP3 Three-day sprint — the cohort runs the method and ships
SP5 Five-day sprint — the long version, with time to get it wrong once
FDP Faculty development, one or three days — for the people who teach it next
Student subscriptions and tool access sit with the university — and we name the tools a sprint needs before anyone commits.

The dog is Leo. St. Bernard, talisman. The calm strength, loyalty and optimism he embodied are how the studio approaches design — and every sprint in this film is his.
