Creativity
Apps should feel alive, not automated.
About 115 Studios
Small studio.
Big signal.
Zero corporate wallpaper.
115 Studios is a small, chaotic studio built by gamers and people who care far too much about the details. We build things we want to use. Somehow, other people want them too.
115
Our story
It started with: “We could build something better.”
We were tired of apps that felt like chores and social platforms that somehow forgot the social part. Pulse started as our answer: a place for friendship, conversation, shared experiences and play.
The studio grew around that idea. What began around one social platform has since expanded into utilities, security technology, live services and an increasingly unsupervised research programme inside 115 Labs.
Not a content factory. Not a trend machine. A place for carefully made digital work with enough personality to leave fingerprints.
What we believe
Five rules for keeping the signal human.
Community
People matter more than algorithms.
Chaos
Fun is not optional; it is part of the point.
Honesty
No corporate fog. No fake promises.
Play
Everything we build should invite curiosity.
The studio
The people behind the controlled chaos.

Wayne [Gothika]
Wayne is the visual brain and the person who turns late night ideas into features instead of fires. With experience in game development and creative leadership behind him, he keeps the studio moving when the work decides to develop a personality crisis.
If it looks good, Wayne probably touched it. If it behaves, he probably fixed it.

Matthew
Matthew writes the code, designs the systems, breaks the systems and occasionally invents new ones by accident. He brings the kind of restless creative energy that refuses to accept that useful software has to be boring.
If Pulse feels alive, it is because Matthew keeps electrocuting it back into motion.

Morris [ASBO]
Morris is the junior developer and social media menace responsible for helping build things, testing things and occasionally allowing 115 Studios to appear like it understands how the internet works. When he is not somewhere inside the codebase, he is helping turn whatever the studio has been doing at 3am into something vaguely suitable for public consumption.
We are still deciding whether giving Morris access to both the code and the social accounts was responsible management.

Arrabella
Arrabella helps keep the studio connected to actual humans, throws ideas into the room at dangerous velocity and has an alarming talent for making "what if we..." become another thing on the roadmap. She is part sounding board, part creative support and part reminder that whatever we build still has to make sense outside our own slightly unhinged bubble.
We have stopped asking whether Arrabella is helping or adding to the problem. The answer is yes.
