Independent Software & Media Studio

Small, resonant software — built by one person with AI.

Sonoro Studio is an independent studio. I design and ship desktop tools, iOS games and short animations, working with frontier models every day — from code to visuals to voice.

Selected Projects

What I’m building & shipping

Small, focused tools and experiences built end-to-end by one person with AI coding agents, image models, and speech synthesis.

Workflow

How I build

AI is part of every stage of my studio workflow — while scope, architecture, and final quality stay human-owned.

01 / BRIEF

Brief

One page, three things it won’t do. Keeping scope tight makes solo shipping sustainable.

02 / DESIGN

Design

Frontier models draft UI options, layout explorations, and storyboards before I refine the details.

03 / BUILD

Build

Implemented with AI coding agents across Swift, Rust, and TypeScript — reviewed line by line.

04 / VERIFY

Verify

Tested on real devices against real services, APIs, and edge cases before any release.

Models I work with daily:

About the studio

Hi, I'm sugarfaye. I build small things that feel good to use — desktop utilities, tactile mobile puzzles, and short educational animations. Sonoro Studio is my personal workshop for exploring what one developer can craft when pairing careful product taste with frontier AI models.
