For Shopify brands and universities who need serious engineering – student platforms, SaaS products, and ecommerce that plug into the rest of your stack.
We don't do everything. We do four things at an unreasonable level of quality.
High-performance Shopify Plus builds for brands that care about speed, conversions, and serious integration work – custom themes, subscriptions, POS, Klaviyo, and ERP integrations.
From zero to product-market fit. We've built and launched our own SaaS platforms. We bring founder-level thinking to every product we touch.
Platform work for universities and larger organisations – student experiences, portals, migrations, and the “glue” between legacy systems.

"We've consolidated our student merch store, student club management, and student active programs onto Shopify Plus. Students get one login and one singular experience for everything Student Life runs digitally. IT gets one platform to support. That's the bar now for any new service we bring online."

Student experience on Shopify Plus
Unified platform for student merch, clubs, programs, and events. One login, one experience, one system to support.
Break through your identity ceiling
A personal growth app for ambitious people. AI-powered prompts, pattern recognition, and the push to stop playing small.
Lightspeed to Klaviyo, finally connected
Syncs POS customer data into Klaviyo automatically. Built for agencies and retailers who are tired of manual exports.
The ecommerce data layer
Next-gen data platform for retail brands. Unifies customer, product, and sales data into one place so you can actually act on it.
We let the work speak. But sometimes the clients do too.
"We worked with Tim from Sonder on one of our biggest digital projects to date. Not only was his team professional and friendly, but they were there when we needed them the most."
"Easily the best devs I've worked with. Fast, accurate and used initiative to make improvements. Tim's a lovely guy too, very easy to work with."
"They didn't just build a website, they got what 12 Boards is about and delivered a Shopify setup that's fast, easy to manage, and driving real results."
"Sonder made the complex feel simple. We needed subscriptions, memberships, and custom POS integrations and they delivered. The setup just works."
We’re a small, founder-led studio that lives in Shopify, university platforms, and heavy integration work. You talk to the people doing the thinking and building, not an account layer translating everything.
You work directly with Tim and the builders, so decisions are fast and context doesn’t get lost.
Deep runs with Shopify Plus, student and government platforms, and the “hard integrations” other teams avoid.
We build and run our own products (Gather, University Platform, HUGE), so we think in revenue, ops load, and real outcomes.
We’ll tell you quickly if we’re not the right fit, and surface risks early so there are no surprises mid‑build.
Tell us what you need and we’ll come back within 24 hours with clear next steps – not a sales script. Most of our work sits between serious Shopify builds, student platforms, and custom integrations.
