THE SHORT VERSION
Heartbred Studio is a micro-agency with macro capability—equal parts engineering lab, digital fixer, and design snarl. We're not here to chase trends. We're here to make the internet work better—for creators, weirdos, founders, and the ones quietly doing the work.
THE LONGER ONE
Heartbred Studio started as a media company, but like all good stories, it mutated. Over time, our work shifted toward solving harder problems—messy migrations, brittle infrastructure, AI-gone-wrong, broken branding, the kinds of things that leave people stuck. We built tools, wrote code, and in the process, became the kind of team we used to wish we could hire.
Today, we operate at the intersection of code, content, and consulting.
We're obsessively local-first, allergic to bloat, and fueled by the belief that creative people deserve better systems. We don't do pitch decks. We do prototypes. And when things break, we fix them like we were never there.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
- ➤ Static-first sites that are fast, beautiful, and hand-tuned
- ➤ AI-assisted workflows that keep context and kill cruft
- ➤ Content liberation from legacy systems (Squarespace, Shopify, you name it)
- ➤ Custom tools and internal software that quietly outperform the SaaS du jour
- ➤ Brand systems that grow with you (instead of breaking when you blink)
WHO WE'RE FOR
- → Small teams doing big things
- → Creators with more ideas than time
- → Founders staring down technical debt
- → Agencies who oversold an AI project and need a quiet rescue
WHO WE ARE
Heartbred is led by Ruzz ./authors/ruzz.mdx, a generalist with 30 years of creative and technical chops—and a talent for showing up when the wheels are about to come off. Backed by a loose collective of designers, developers, and weirdos, we scale when needed and vanish when done.
