About

Two Buds is a small studio, and everything we make starts with someone we know. A game for our friends’ parties. A chat window for anyone who misses 1999. A tool for Meg’s shop. Some of it gets people laughing in the same room, or at least the same chat window. Some of it just makes a busy week easier. We keep working on all of it until it feels right.

plus two little buds

It started with two best friends. We got married, kept making things together, and somewhere along the way that turned into a company.

Then we had two kids, who turned out to be best buds themselves. So the name counts twice: once for us, and once for them.
