Practical software. No drama.
No Drama Studios is an independent design and engineering studio in Melbourne. We build practical software for organisations with real operational problems, and we design, build and operate brands of our own.
How we work ↓Project work for organisations that want practical software designed, built and shipped by the people who build and run their own brands.
AI product prototyping
Scoping a process that eats hours every week, then building a working prototype you can put in front of users within weeks.
Custom web and mobile applications
Full-stack web, iOS and Android builds shipped to production, the App Store and Google Play, with payments, accounts and the unglamorous parts done properly.
AI workflow automation
Language-model steps inside existing workflows, engineered for consistent, checkable output.
Education and coaching
Training for teams building with AI, and coaching for schools and founders shipping their first product, delivered by a qualified teacher who builds software for a living.
Start with the problem
A short conversation about the workflow that hurts, and an honest view on whether we are the right fit.
Scope something small
We find the smallest version worth building and agree the scope and price before any code is written.
Build in the open
Working software early and often, tried by the people who will actually use it.
Iterate or hand over
Keep us on to refine and extend it, or take the code and run. You own what we build for you.
The studio designs, builds and operates brands of its own: software used daily by tradies, teachers and students. Client work and brand work sharpen each other.
See the brands →No Drama Studios is run by Andrew Weekes. The pattern behind everything here is the same: find a genuine pain point, watch how people actually work, build the smallest thing that solves the problem, then keep refining it with real users.
The point is the same every time: hand people back their hours, for the work that needs them and the life outside it.
Longer term, the studio is heading beyond software into mechatronics: code, sensors, circuits and mechanical design, together.
For project work, partnerships, or contract and full-time opportunities, email is the best way to reach us.
