About the studio
A small studio, amplified by AI.
Packawacka Studios is an independent software company in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was founded in 2026 by Steffen Schwarze.
Why a studio like this?
Good software used to need a big team. You needed designers, engineers, testers, marketers and someone to keep the paperwork in order. Packawacka Studios tries a different approach: one founder with a team of AI agents, each focused on one part of the work.
The agents handle well-defined tasks like drafting designs, writing and reviewing code, testing builds, preparing launch material and keeping company admin on track. Steffen decides what we build, checks the work and stays accountable for everything we ship.
What we care about
- Calm software. Products should make life a bit easier, not compete for your attention.
- Honesty. We say what a product does and what data it uses, in plain language.
- Craft. We care about the small details: type, motion, sensible defaults and how it feels at 3am.
- Accessibility. Our products should work for as many people as possible.
