About Meian Studio
Meian Studio is a small creator studio that values aesthetics, simplicity, and quality of life. We believe that the tools you use should feel intentional and beautiful, supporting your work rather than complicating it.
We build for freelancers and very small teams because we understand the unique challenges you face. You need tools that respect your time, honor your craft, and help you focus on what matters most.
Our story
Meian Studio was born from a desire to leave behind the noise and complexity of corporate tools. After years of working in environments where software felt heavy and disconnected from the craft it was meant to support, we decided to build something different.
We wanted tools that feel like beautiful stationery—intentional, simple, and a joy to use. Tools that don't fight against your workflow but instead become a natural part of how you work.
We have deep respect for the creators and tools that already exist. Rather than adding to the noise, we focus on creating clarity. When excellent tools already exist, we curate and recommend them. When there's a gap, we build something that fills it with care and intention.
Charlie and Cora
Charlie and Cora are the mascots of Meian Studio, representing the dual nature of our approach to building tools.
Charlie is the calm, joyful builder and companion. Charlie helps you find flow in your work, removes friction, and makes the everyday tasks feel effortless. When you're working with a tool that feels natural and supportive, that's Charlie's influence.
Cora is the refined, demanding guardian of quality. Cora ensures that everything we create meets the highest standards, that every detail is considered, and that nothing leaves our studio unless it truly honors your work. When you notice the thoughtful details and careful craftsmanship, that's Cora's influence.
Together, Charlie and Cora embody the balance we strive for: tools that are both easy to use and built with uncompromising quality. They remind us that great tools should feel effortless while being crafted with care.
How we decide what to build
- Create when we can add clarity and beauty to a workflow
- Curate when excellent tools already exist and deserve recognition
- Keep things small, focused, and respectful of the niche
- Aim to help freelancers work better and live better
- Never add features for the sake of features—every addition must serve a clear purpose
