About
A small, dedicated team building world-class software for artists, by artists. Started by two co-founders — no venture capital, no private equity, no boardroom. Just the people who use it, building it for the people who use it.
The team
Co-founder & CEO
Charcoal portrait artist · glassblower · 30-year software engineer
Nearly 30 years in software development, architecture, and leadership — paired with a lifelong, passionate art practice in lifelike charcoal portraits and glass (both hot-shop and lampwork). Precision engineering, guided by an artist's hand.
Co-founder & COO
Professional dancer · studio insider · operator
A nearly literal lifetime in the dance community — from the studio floor to the stage to the back office. Direct, lived expertise in what studios actually need, because she's still in class as often as she's at her desk.
What we believe
Five things we believe deeply enough to write down. Everything we ship runs through these five filters.
01
Every decision we make passes through one filter: does this make studio owners' or their customers' lives better? Not "does this make us more money," not "does this look good in a demo." If a feature, a fee, or a workflow doesn't serve our studio partners or the people who walk through their doors, it doesn't ship.
02
Some platforms hide their pricing or make you sit through a sales demo just to get a number. Not us. If you can't read our pricing as fast as a supermarket price tag, something is wrong with it. The pricing page is short on purpose.
03
Whether you're moving in from another platform, exporting your history from Atelier Studio™, or you just want to delete it all — it's your decision. Studio owner who needs the whole archive? Done. Individual customer who wants their record erased? Done. We don't charge for exports or deletions. Ever.
04
A lot of software is run on "ship fast, ship often" — push features out the door, charge more for them, half-bake them, fix it later. We don't do that. There's always time to do it right. We may not ship features every week, but when we do, you can be sure they're done.
05
Want to cancel? You won't jump through rings of fire and click "No Thanks" three hundred times to escape increasingly desperate retention offers. There are no hidden fees, no complex webs of subscription charges and upsells, no dark-pattern checkboxes that opt you into something. If we'd be embarrassed to defend it in a room of studio owners, it doesn't exist in the product.
