The studio
Eighteen years. Still independent.
Killdisco is a founder-led brand and software studio. We’ve spent eighteen years doing work that’s usually split across an agency, a dev shop, and a consultancy – and proving it’s better when one senior team owns all three.

Why Killdisco
We started as a design shop. We grew into something rarer.
Killdisco began in 2008 with a simple belief: the work looks better and performs better when the people who think the strategy also design the brand and write the code. No handoffs, no telephone game, no “that’s not our scope.”
Over eighteen years that belief took us from logos and brochures into websites, then into custom software, then into the strategy work that sits above all of it. Today we help companies decide what to build, design how it looks, engineer how it works, and keep it running.
We’ve stayed deliberately small and senior. The people you meet are the people who do the work – and many of our clients have been with us for the better part of a decade.
How we think
What we believe.
01
Outcomes over output
A beautiful thing that doesn’t move the business is a failure with good taste. We measure against pipeline, conversion, and retention.
02
One team, no handoffs
Strategy, design, and engineering in one room. The thinking survives all the way to production.
03
Senior, not staffed-up
You get the people from the pitch. We’d rather stay small and do fewer things exceptionally well.
04
Built to last
We design systems, not one-offs — and we host and support them so they keep working after launch.
05
Honest counsel
We’ll tell you when not to build something. The relationship matters more than the invoice.
06
A little edge
Corporate doesn’t have to mean forgettable. Eighteen years in, we still refuse to blend in.
Where we are
Two hemispheres, one studio.
