Shika Group

Built by Shika.

We do not only design for clients. We build and operate our own products too.

Why this page exists

Owning products makes the studio better.

Running our own products means we carry the parts of the job an agency never sees: what a launch actually costs, what breaks at ten thousand pages, which decisions matter in month six, and what happens when nobody comes.

Everything below is Shika-built. We own it, we pay for it, and we keep it running.

On curation

This is not everything we have built.

There are more products, more experiments and more things half in the drawer. They are not here because volume is not the point: every product on this page is one we would happily be judged on.

When one of the others is ready to be looked at properly, it will appear here.
