Software for the way life works.

Start with the problem worth solving.

The most useful software starts with understanding: what people need to do, what gets in their way, and how the pieces fit together. My Empower takes that wider view, then shapes a solution around the details that matter.

Bespoke software, shaped around your needs.

  • Apps for everyday use

    Purpose-built experiences for iPhone, Android and Mac, with the platform chosen to suit the people using them.

  • Web apps and services

    Browser-based tools and connected services designed around your processes and information.

  • A systems perspective

    A practical look at the people, workflows and existing tools around the software, so the brief begins in the right place.

Experience that looks beyond the screen.

My Empower's founder began a software career at Microsoft in the 1990s. Decades of utilities experience across different countries added a wider perspective on complex systems, real-world constraints and the people who depend on them.

That combination informs the studio today: understand the whole situation, ask practical questions and make deliberate choices about what to build.
