Indie studio + freelance · Chicago

Hi, I'm Linda!

Zawmbi Productions is my solo studio. I design, build, and ship software start to finish. I develop iOS and webapps using a wide range of tools to best fit each client's personal needs.

Attendize

Attendance, with momentum.

A gamified attendance tracker for college and grad students. Log Present, Late, or Absent per class, see how many you can still safely miss, forecast your end-of-term percentage, and earn XP, ranks, streaks, and badges.

Let's build
something together

I take on a limited number of freelance and contract projects between my own releases, and I'm open to the right full-time role.

01

Web apps, end to end

I handle the full process, from design and build through to deployment, whether the result is a dashboard, an internal tool, or a product that needs to work reliably from day one.

02

iOS apps

Native applications taken all the way through App Store review. Two are currently live, and there is room for yours.

03

MVPs on a deadline

I turn an idea into a working, testable product within a few weeks, keeping the first version focused so that it reaches users quickly.

1
Define the first version
We agree on what the first release genuinely needs to include, and what can wait until later.
2
Build in stages
You see working software each week, rather than waiting for a single reveal at the end.
3
Launch and refine
We release early, observe how the product is used, and improve the areas that matter most.

Have a project in mind?

Tell me what you're building, and I'll give you a straightforward assessment of whether I'm the right fit for it.

The studio

One person,
start to finish

Zawmbi Productions began with a recurring pattern: I kept encountering the same fixable problems and wanted better tools to deal with them. So I built those tools myself, and the ones that worked well ended up here.

The apps differ on the surface, but they share a common principle. I believe software should respect the time of the people using it, and I keep that in mind across everything I build.

01

Focused

Each app is built to do one job well, without unnecessary features and minimizing clutter.

02

Shipped, then improved

I prioritize getting a working product into use over perfecting a plan in advance.

03

Built for real use

Designed for people who are busy and value their time.
