Independent studio · Est. 2019
We build small, careful software
for teams that ship.
Metelka is a two-person studio working with founders and product teams on interfaces, developer tools, and the boring pieces that quietly hold everything else together.

What we do
Short, focused engagements. Usually three to eight weeks. Sometimes a longer partnership when the shape of the work calls for it.
- Product design. Interfaces that are honest about what the software actually does.
- Frontend engineering. TypeScript, React, and unfashionable amounts of vanilla CSS.
- Developer tooling. CLIs, build pipelines, docs sites, the things that quietly compound.
- Technical writing. Reference docs, changelogs, migration guides — the ones people actually read.

We take on a handful of new engagements each quarter. If the timing is off we'll say so, and try to point you somewhere useful.
