Santos & Halp is an independent practice of engineers and designers. We choose our engagements carefully and take each one end-to-end — from the first sketch to the first sale.
We work with founders, operators, and brand owners who want a studio that can carry a product from concept to live service — writing the code, shipping the build, and remaining on call after launch. Our team is intentionally small; our projects are intentionally few.
Every decision — typographic, architectural, commercial — is made by the same people who will answer the pager.
We are headquartered in the United States and work with clients in North America and Europe. Inquiries are reviewed weekly; we take on a new engagement roughly once a quarter.
i.
Craft over churn
We would rather ship one application worth keeping than ten that are forgotten by summer.
ii.
Small by design
A deliberate team size means the people you meet are the people who build your product.
iii.
End-to-end
Interface, engineering, infrastructure, and App Store review — handled under one roof.
iv.
Long horizon
We write software for the decade it will live in, not the sprint it was born in.
