About
A studio of one, on purpose.
Middleman Studio is a one-person practice based in Georgia. I take one client at a time. The work is better, the timeline is honest, and you're never sharing my attention with someone else's emergency.
If you have a small operation that needs real software, send a short note about the business and the problem. That's plenty to start.
