Two rad dudes, one creative lab.

We’re Elder Sons, a Los Angeles-based product and design studio born from an obsession with "what’s next."

Our story started 15 years ago on a rainy Sunday in Chicago. One dude from Madison and another from Virginia realized we shared a relentless drive to build things that don't suck.

Today, we’ve traded the Windy City for the LA sun, but the mission remains the same.

From the Big Leagues to the Sandbox.

We didn't just stumble into this. We’ve spent over a decade scaling the corporate ladders of the world’s most influential tech giants. With leadership and design experience at Apple, Google, Meta, HP, and Pinterest, we’ve seen exactly how the "corporate sausage" is made—and we’re here to provide the antidote.

Elder Sons LLC is where we trade the red tape for clean code and high-fidelity design.

Why We’re Here.

Inspired by LA’s architectural lines and restless grit, we use our "big tech" DNA to build:

• Smarter AI: High-utility tech that feels human, not clinical.

• Intentional Design: Minimalist aesthetics with maximum personality.

• Independent iOS Apps: Like REPL8D, crafted to solve everyday problems with a smirk.

We’re here to prove that world-class product strategy doesn't have to be boring. We’re just two guys building the digital future we actually want to live in.
