Independent design studio · est. 2026

Design and code for the web, the screen, and the page.

Red Lentil Productions is a small studio working at the seam of design and engineering. We help teams ship work that feels considered: marketing sites that load fast, games with mechanics that click, and graphic systems that hold up everywhere they appear.

01 — Capabilities

Three practices, one studio. We work end-to-end across all of them.

01 / Web

Web design & development

From single-page brochures to full marketing sites and small product surfaces. Custom design, hand-built code, performance you can feel.

  • Marketing sites
  • Landing pages
  • Webflow / Astro / Next
  • CMS & integrations
02 / Game

Game design

Mechanics, level design, narrative, and UI for indie titles and prototypes. We are as comfortable in Unity and Godot as we are with paper, dice, and Post-its.

  • Mechanics
  • Level design
  • Game UI
  • Prototyping
03 / Graphic

Graphic design

Identity systems, editorial layouts, packaging, and the bits in between. Made to be used across every surface, not just admired in a portfolio.

  • Brand identity
  • Editorial
  • Packaging
  • Print

03 — Studio

A small studio, on purpose.

We started Red Lentil because most of the work we wanted to make doesn't fit the agency model. The projects we love are smaller, weirder, and closer to the people who use them.

Every project is led by the people who do the work. No account managers, no handoffs to offshore production, no decks made to justify decks. We design, we write the code, we ship, and we stay around to see how it lands.

We name the studio after a humble bean. It cooks in twenty minutes, holds its shape, and quietly carries half the dish. We aim for the same.
