We’re
Transforming

the way digital products
get built

IMAGINE

Imagine a world where the tools that help us build digital products are more effectively connected to the people critical to their success: customers, developers, designers, product leaders, and decision makers. Where everyone works at their best and has good visibility of the whole as well. Where it all comes together.


We want a world where best-in-class tools for designers, developers, and product owners are deeply integrated, so a project manager doesn’t have to use one environment to communicate with the team and another environment to communicate with clients. A world where the product designer and software developer work together effortlessly, even at enterprise scale.


Building this world is our mission at Crux Studio. We’re transforming the way digital products get built. Meet the team and Join us.

Aaron Stone

Aaron Stone

Aaron grew up on the design side of complex development projects, and for the past four years has been operating a fast-growing digital agency that’s serving the Fortune 500 to make their digital product development easy. He’s learned a lot about the gaps between where the digital product development toolset is today, and what it could be in the future, and co-founded Crux Studio to build that future.
Zach Hendershot

Zach Hendershot

Zach knows the needs of the Fortune 500 because he helped build a comprehensive digital ecosystem for his fair share of them. He grew up on the development side of complex development projects, and, teamed with his direct experience as a product leader in the enterprise, co-founded Crux Studio to build a fundamentally better experience in digital product tools.
Doug Kittelsen
