What we do

01 / 05

Creative works

Brand, design, copy, video, motion, audio. If it needs to look, sound or read a certain way by Friday, this is the part we have been doing longest.

02 / 05

Software for small businesses

The boring bit, automated. Invoice chasing, scheduling, records, the thing you have been doing in a spreadsheet since 2019. Small tools that do one job and do not need a training day.

03 / 05

Health and clinic tech

Trackers and patient systems built for the people using them, not just for compliance. Fewer tabs open. Fewer things falling through the cracks.

04 / 05

Little tools people actually use

Habits, counts, daily rituals. Small, sharp, unglamorous things that earn a place on a home screen and keep it.

05 / 05

Games

Browser and mobile, small and finished. Playable brand pieces, waiting-room distractions, teaching games that do not feel like homework.

Sites

Oculoplastic surgeon's practice site

Dr Catherine Chow

Eyelids, tear ducts and orbit: a subspecialty most people have never heard of, reached by patients who are frightened. Conditions are explained at length and in plain language, and the way to actually make contact stays one tap away throughout.

Children's eye-health library

Little Eyes 101

Parents search for what they can see, not for the medical term. Articles are sorted by age and by symptom, in three languages, behind a search that takes “a grey patch near her eye” and returns the right answer.

Doctor-led aesthetic clinic

The Retreat Clinic

An aesthetics site in a market that mostly advertises discounts. This one leads with diagnosis: what is actually going on, what may not need treating at all, and a journal that gives the doctor room to explain.

Games

Chess · Teaching game

I Ate Your King

A chess trainer that behaves like a game rather than a lesson. Five bot levels from Rookie to Master, interactive drills, and per-game missions like "castle within your first ten moves" that teach a habit instead of a rule.

Arcade · Browser

Neon Gacha

A neon twin-stick arena where the loot is the joke. Waves, ship loadouts, and a gacha roll that decides what you fight with. Short enough to finish on a break, and picked up without a tutorial.

What we build.

01 Modular customer service system · Clinic

Kaunter

The front desk, as software. One system, in parts you can take separately.

A bot that answers the questions your counter answers forty times a day and books people in. A calendar that survives a genuinely busy Monday morning. Filing where the next person can actually find things. And a financial slice that tells the owner what came in, what is owed, and what did not reconcile. Start with one part. Add the next when the first has earned it.

02 Transcription · Add-on

BISIK

Bisik is Malay for whisper. It turns the talking into text you can search.

Bolts onto Kaunter, or works on its own if that is all you need. Built for how people here actually talk: Malay and English in the same sentence, three voices at once, a fan in the background. It timestamps who said what, so six months of consultations and calls become one searchable pile instead of six months of recordings nobody will ever open.

03 Coffee · Offline-first

Kopi Jin

A personal grind log for people who take their coffee a bit too seriously.

Beans, dials and dilemmas. Recipes for pour-over, espresso, Aeropress, Moka and cold brew, your grinder settings remembered between bags, and a troubleshooter for when the shot runs fast and you cannot work out why. Everything stays on your own device: no account, no cloud, no tracking, and a backup file you keep.

04 Education · SJKC

Jintuition

A study station for SJKC pupils, in the language they sit the paper in.

Year 4 and Year 6, four subjects: Sejarah, Matematik, Sains and Bahasa Cina. Basic questions to build confidence, challenge questions to stretch, and full mock papers for the weeks when the exam stops being theoretical. Built for the kids who learn in Chinese, rather than translated at them.

Story

Named after the hour

Great work happens at a certain frequency. It is the frequency where the city has gone quiet, the office lights have gone home, and the noodles have not. The studio is named after what is still open at that hour, and after the shape the sound wave makes when you look at it too long: an M on the crest, a W in the reflection underneath. Midnight. Wonton. Nobody planned that. Everybody kept it.

The rest of the name is a bowl of wantan mee, which is the correct food for this hour and we will take questions later. Springy egg noodles that bounce back, the way a good idea does after the first round of feedback. Soup on the side, because some things should never touch the main dish. And the wonton itself: a small parcel of something good, wrapped carefully, handed over while it is still warm. That is not a dumpling metaphor. That is the entire business model.

We spell it wonton because that is the gwailo version, and because the domain was available. Both reasons are true. Only one of them is romantic.

The Midnight Wonton Rules

Ship it before the soup goes cold.

Never trust a brief written before noon.

Pickled green chilli is a garnish, not a personality. Same goes for drop shadows.

If it doesn't bounce back after one round of feedback, it wasn't springy enough.

Soup on the side, always. Some things should never touch the main dish.

A deadline is not a vibe. But a vibe can survive a deadline.

Dry or with soup, but never wishy-washy.

The stall that's open at 3am earns your loyalty. So does the client who is.

One good joke per paragraph. The rest is just noise with sesame oil on it.

If you wouldn't eat it standing up at a roadside stall, don't ship it either.
