Sora Chen
3D & Interface Lead
Sets the spatial language for every build here — camera choreography, material studies, and the exact moment a scene should stop moving so the copy can be read.

We build the interface,
the platform under it,
and the sound it makes.
A four-person studio for real-time product surfaces. WebGL that holds its frame budget, a typed platform behind it, and an audio layer mixed like a record — specified, measured, and handed over with the keys.

01The roster
Four people.
No account layer.
You talk to the people building the thing. Every engagement is staffed with the whole studio, which is why we cap it at three live builds at a time.

02
Full-stack engineering
Platform
One team writes the interface and the service behind it, so the seam between them never becomes your problem. Typed end to end, deployed on every commit, with migrations reviewed like code.
- TypeScript app + typed data layer
- Postgres schema with reviewed migrations
- Edge routing, caching and image pipeline
- Observability and load-test baseline
03
Brand & real-time 3D
Surface
Identity, type system and the WebGL stage are designed together. Scenes are anchored to content, budgeted for frame time, and degrade to a still frame when a device or a preference asks them to.
- Identity system and type scale
- Real-time 3D scenes with frame budget
- Component library and motion spec
- Reduced-motion and fallback states
04
Sound & interaction
Signal
Sound is treated as an interface layer, not decoration. Every cue is mixed, ducked and gated behind an explicit user gesture, then measured against the same accessibility bar as the visuals.
- Interface sound set, mixed and mastered
- Procedural ambience tied to app state
- Haptic and pointer feedback mapping
- Opt-in gating and mute persistence
05Selected work
Three builds, and what they moved.
Kestrel Aerospace2026
Orbit Telemetry
A live ground-station console for 38 small satellites. We replaced a desktop-only Java tool with a browser client that renders orbit state in real time and still works on a tablet in a field trailer.

Halden Audio2025
Resonance
A marketplace for instrument plugins where every product page auditions itself. Buyers hear a sound before the page finishes loading, which moved the needle on trials more than any copy change had.

Atlas Sections
Core-sample archives turned into a browsable 3D stratigraphy explorer. Field geologists annotate layers on site; the annotations sync back to the same Postgres rows the lab reports read from.
