About — A studio of tenLondon · Est. 2024

We build apps,
not pitch decks.

Briso is a small product studio in London. We design and engineer beautiful mobile apps for founders, scale-ups, and corporates moving mobile-first. Most studios sell process. We sell things you can install.

01 — Manifesto

Why we exist.

A short story about consultants, decks, and a stubborn belief that you can do better.

We started Briso because the agency model is broken. Six-month engagements, slide decks pretending to be products, and a hand-off that leaves the engineering team to fight the design team forever.

Our bet: a small team, holding design and code in the same room, can ship better mobile apps in eight weeks than most agencies can deliver in eight months.

The work on this site started as proof. They became our point of view: an app should be holdable before it's debatable. Speed is a craft discipline, not a marketing claim. And if a studio can't show you a working build, they're selling you something else.

02 — In numbers

Small, on purpose.

Two years in. The numbers behind the studio — receipts not slides.

03 — The team

Ten people. No relay.

The same humans you meet on day one are the humans who hand you a built app on day fifty-six.

04 — How we work

Five house rules.

These show up in every project. They're how clients describe us when we're not in the room.

i.

Show, don't tell.

Every Friday is demo day. A working build sits between you and us — never a slide pretending to be one.

ii.

One team.

Designers and engineers ship together. No hand-off, no PMs translating between worlds. The room is the artifact.

iii.

Brief over backlog.

We replace Jira theatre with a single-page brief you'd defend in court. Scope changes change the brief, not the backlog.

iv.

Empty states are the product.

If the loading state, error state, and the moment after first-login feel thoughtless, the product is. We treat them as first-class.

v.

Ninety-day handover.

When we hand off, we stay close for ninety days while the numbers settle. On-call, observability, monitoring. No abandonment.

The studio in three lines.
