Studio Principles
Our standards for software performance, visual identity, and physical workshop fabrication.
Sub-Second Page Loads
We build lightweight web applications in SvelteKit and TypeScript without bloated WordPress plugins. Pages load under one second on mobile networks and are indexed cleanly by search engines out of the box.
Clean Vector Brand Assets
We deliver organized vector master files (SVG, PDF, PNG), typography systems, and print-ready color specs. Everything scales smoothly from mobile app icons up to large storefront signage.
Direct Maker Access
You work directly with the designer, developer, and fabricator building your project. No account managers playing telephone or handing off tickets to third-party subcontractors.
Digital Code Meets Physical Craft
Under one roof, we write production software, mill hardwoods on a CNC, 3D print replacement parts, and assemble microcontrollers. That physical workshop discipline makes our digital work cleaner and more reliable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Details on client collaboration, tech stack performance, fabrication timelines, and local SEO integrations.
Where is Roosevelt Island Studio located and do you meet in person?
We are based on Roosevelt Island, New York, situated between Manhattan and Queens. We meet with clients in person across New York City and work collaboratively with companies nationwide.
What technologies do you use for web development?
We build custom web applications using SvelteKit, TypeScript, and modern Tailwind CSS deployed on Vercel global edge infrastructure. We avoid bulky legacy CMS plugin stacks to ensure sub-second load times and long-term reliability.
How do you approach SEO and web performance?
Every web application is engineered in SvelteKit with server-side rendering (SSR), structured JSON-LD schemas, and edge delivery on Vercel infrastructure. This ensures sub-second page loads, high Core Web Vitals, and clean search engine indexing without bloated CMS plugins.
What creative and fabrication services does the studio provide?
Our studio disciplines include High-Performance Web Applications, Brand Identity Design, Real Estate HDR Media & 360° Matterport Virtual Tours, and Custom 3D Printing (PA-CF/PC) & CNC Fabrication.
How do project turnaround times and pricing work?
We operate on transparent, flat-rate tiers. Photography and 360° Matterport scans turn around in 24 to 48 hours, brand identities in 2 to 3 weeks, custom fabrication in 1 to 2 weeks, and custom web applications in 2 to 3 weeks with straightforward milestone scoping.
