Who we've worked withAll 13 of them are live.
Who it's for

Four kinds of client, one standard.

Tap a door. The 13 projects below sort themselves.

How we work

Three rules we don't bend.

The way the work gets made is why it holds up.

01

No one in between

You talk to the people who build it, first call to launch. Nothing reaches you before it works where your visitors will see it.

02

Slow where it counts

Fast on the easy parts. Careful on the ones that bite later: accessibility, security, the parts nobody notices until they fail.

03

Honest from the first reply

If a project isn't a fit, you hear it within a day, with a better direction. We'd rather send you somewhere good than fill a calendar.

Selected work

Real products, on real domains.

Hover a row to see it move. Every one of the 13 is live, checked by hand.

Also cooking in the studio: an AI copilot that finally pays attention in your meetings, a gallery grade site for an LA interior designer, a project control room that flags which job is stuck and who owns it, and factory vision that catches the flaw a tired eye misses.

Built for the studio itself: a war room that keeps every project, deadline and loose end on one screen, a UI library of parts already proven on live sites, and a 3D office we show up to every day.

What we build

Three lanes, one standard.

Knowing when to reach for each matters more than the tools.

Products, end to end

AI tools, SaaS and internal platforms, from a sentence to a launched product, and kept running after.

TypeScript core React · Next.js app Node server Supabase · Prisma data

Brand sites that sell

We build sites bold enough to remember and fast enough to rank, wired to actually convert and easy for your own team to run.

Tailwind style GSAP · Lenis motion Sanity cms Mapbox · Resend services

The hard, specific stuff

We take on odds engines, live data feeds, AI vision and accessibility critical builds: the work other studios quietly pass on.

Four levels of craft, seen live on this page.

Not every part of a site deserves the same effort. Flip the switch to see which level went where on this page, and why.

Flip it. See what level of craft went into this exact page.

  1. Essential It works, it is clean, nothing is missing.
  2. Signature It looks like you.
  3. Tailored Made for you alone.
  4. Immersive You are inside it. Two or three per site, at most.
How you can check

Proof, not promises.

What "we care about quality" means in numbers, and when we last checked.

  1. Zero accessibility violations, checked with axe-core.Nobody using a keyboard or a screen reader gets stuck on this site.
  2. Six security headers, named and live on this exact site.You don't have to take our word for it, check it yourself, right now.
  3. All 13 live projects fetched and checked, one by one."Live" on this page is not a guess. It was verified.
  4. Every build is QA'd in a real browser, desktop and mobile, before it ships.What we review is what your visitors get, not a screenshot that never left staging.
  5. Security and legal audits run on client work, written down.The paperwork exists before anything goes wrong, not after.

Check it yourself: open your browser's dev tools, read the response headers, or read this page's own CSP. Nothing here is a claim you have to take on faith.

The studio

The people behind the name.

Kazim K. Founder San Diego

I don't run an agency. I'm one builder who treats every project like it has my name on it, because it does. One name on the door, a whole crew behind it: that crew is Team K13. I would rather make six things I believe in than sixty I don't.

The workbench

Things from the work, made playable.

Toys made from the work, and an arcade. No rules, no reading. Light all 13 to open the doors.

The K13 world

San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles

The workbench is now a little pixel world. K13 HQ in San Diego holds the arcade and the toys, and out the front door the coast runs to Los Angeles with every shop we built standing where it really is. The crew go out to them by day. Pick a pin and walk straight in.
