The party

the alchemist

Hello

My name is Adam Plouff (sounds like fluff). I’m a designer and animator who also likes math for whatever reason. I believe that making good animation takes a lot of time and the weirdos who do this stuff for a living should have a strong set of tools to help bring a project to life. 

I am interested in coffee, metal (doom, death, black, etc), modular synthesis, runes, incantations, wife, child, vikings, and learning to preserve my corporeal form through sleep and running. 

I used to build tools for Google but now get to spend my time here. And I like that.

Hi

I’m Ash Plouff (sounds like tough). I am the merchomancer and ruler of tangible artifacts –nice to meet you. 

When I am not shipping orders and keeping things organized around here, I am easily found doing crafts with, or trying to keep up with, an elementary school child. I enjoy baking and I have an affinity for paper products and pens of all sorts.

I have 100 percented Breath of the Wild. Seriously.

the scholar

Hey

I’m Jake Bartlett (like the pear). I’m an animator and educator here to inspire you to be more creative and efficient in your day-to-day workflow. I think the tools we use to create should allow us to create more freely. Understanding how the tools work and how best to use them is a great way to get to that creative freedom.

I enjoy making espresso drinks, woodworking, and baking sourdough bread. My creativity is fueled by coffee, lego bricks, and “Weird Al” Yankovic.

I was homeschooled.

Working together

We are a tiny, remote company of 3 people who love to make (and help others make) art.

This is us in 2023, talking about how we work together.

We love you. Thank you for supporting us.

Wolves of the realm

Companions and office mates who distract us in the best way possible.
