About
We are small on purpose.
raxel is a workshop. We take a small number of projects each year and treat each of them like the only one. We work the way a good small studio always has — close to the work, no layers, no theatre.
How we work
Small on purpose
We stay small so the people working on your project are the people you met. No PMs forwarding messages, no offshore handoffs.
Product craft over process
We make the smallest right thing, ship it, and respond to what we learn. Process exists to serve the work, not the other way around.
We write the code we'd inherit
Production-grade from day one. The codebase you take home is one you can hand to your next hire without an apology.
Design and engineering, one team
Type tokens land in the repo as design tokens. The mark vector gets shipped from Figma to a component. The boundary is a habit, not a real thing.
In the workshop
Two open-source projects, in public.
Between client work we build tools we want to use. Right now that's two open-source projects in the same family of ideas — the kind of work that quietly sharpens everything else we do. We'll publish case studies as they ship.
