I learned to code in my first year of university, back in 2013. By my third year, I had learned what user experience meant, which was barely a profession back then. My head was full of ideas, and all I wanted was to put these new skills to use by building apps and putting them out in the world, for no reason other than the joy of making them.

Offset is my way back to that feeling.

It took a while to get here. I started my first company, a tech services agency, while I was still a student. I ran it for over four years, and it is still one of the best decisions I have made. It threw me into hardships early and taught me through my mistakes. I also tried my luck with a few other ideas before building a career in design. All these experiences shaped me, but something was always missing. I was either making things for others, or too fixated on the business side.

But the urge to make things for the joy of it never left. It has been there for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I drew comic books with my own characters and stories. In college I made my own music, and at university I even planned to make a film. If I weren’t a designer, I think I would have been a filmmaker.

I love art in every form. Music, cinema, even football, it’s all art to me if it evokes an emotion. In all of it, what moves me are the small details someone chose with care. Noticing them is what makes me feel fulfilled.

Offset brings all of that together. It is a design-led, human-centered software company, built on everything my work has taught me and everything that inspires me. It is also my creative outlet, a place where I can go wild with ideas.

We live in a time when it is fair to ask where humanity is heading. In a world rushing to automate everything, I believe the answer is in what only people bring: taste, feeling, and the joy of creating. That is what makes us human, and it is why this felt like the right moment to start.

Offset is for the people who feel the same way about art, design, and craft. I hope that everything it creates brings you joy, makes you feel something, and leaves you with the sense that it was made just for you.
