The practice

Product sites and the software behind them. Pages with a point of view, and tools a business can actually run.

iPhone and Android, often from one Kotlin codebase, so the product feels at home in either pocket.

Founder
C'Aira Shields
An engineer for nearly nine years, building the products the studio imagines.
C'Aira Shields leads Catharsis Devs. Nearly nine years of engineering came first — RadioPublic, World Wide Technology, Bleacher Report, and Underdog Sports. The Bleacher Report work was named Most Valuable Engineer in 2023. The work now is the studio's own: websites, apps, and games, made in-house.
