The studio

A studio that would rather be out of office.

Out of Office Studio is a one-person operation making small escapes for people who work too much. Designer toys you hide behind your monitor, and games you play when the meeting could have been an email.

What we’re about

One joke, told properly.

Work eats most of your waking life. The studio runs on the idea that a little of that time is worth giving back, in small and well-made ways. Fifteen minutes with a goblin sitting on your desk. A quiet descent on your phone while the standup runs long.

Nothing we make asks for a login streak or a second job. It waits for you, and it’s there when you have a minute to spare.

The studio keeps a straight face. The products do not. That contrast is the whole point, and we plan to keep it.

Made by one person, on purpose.

Everything here is built by a single founder, with a few trusted hands on art. That means we ship slower than a big studio, and we sweat the small stuff more. A thing goes out when it’s good, not when a calendar says so.

Run out of Texas, between a day job and the hours that should have been sleep.
