Care · hearing & memory
Sunny Ears
A care platform a family can live inside — designed around hearing loss and the people who navigate it together.
We partner with organizations to solve their hardest problems — and build products from within that do the same. We think in whole systems, not single screens.
Our first act as a collective was to design the entry wall to our studio — a shared manifesto drawn entirely by hand. Every member filled it with the ideas, jokes, and hopes they brought to the work.
When our alumni returned, we added one word — Again — and they left their own memories across it. The next cohort rebuilt the wall but kept three words at its heart: You Are Home.
Those nested circles became our mark — growth, and the space between what you can do alone and what you can do together. It's how we think about every system we design.
We work two ways at once — and each side makes the other sharper.
Embedded, multidisciplinary teams that uncover latent needs, prototype quickly, and design whole systems — not just screens.
Our in-house products are living laboratories for our most ambitious ideas — built around real human needs, tested in the real world.
A look at the work — with partners and from within the studio.
A care platform a family can live inside — designed around hearing loss and the people who navigate it together.
Opening the conversation around postpartum — and the moments we're too often taught not to talk about.
An original product from the studio — exploring how thoughtful design can reshape an everyday ritual.
We start in empathy — the latent human need beneath the brief.
Structured experimentation to widen what's possible.
Rapid cycles that make ideas tangible and testable.
We design the whole ecosystem, not one isolated screen.
We came up together through Stanford's graduate design program — and decided to keep building. Creative technologists, researchers, and makers who'd rather solve the real problem than the obvious one.
From engineering to anthropology, green chemistry to data science — small enough to think as one.
Have a problem worth solving, or just want to know more? The door's open.
