Tin Balloon
Creative Studio for the Unconventional
We make sounds, pictures, words, and websites for people who don't fit in boxes. If your vision is unusual, we're probably interested.
What We Make
Sound & Music
Music production. Sound design. Podcast creation and engineering. Modular synthesis. Generative compositions. Audio that moves people in directions they didn't expect.
Words & Stories
Creative writing. Marketing copy that doesn't sound like marketing. Brand voice that actually has a voice. Content strategy for people who hate content strategy.
Websites & Digital
Websites for creatives, writers, musicians, and anyone else who needs a home on the internet but doesn't want it to look like everyone else's home.
Visual & Imagery
Album artwork. Social media visuals. Photography with intent. Graphics that don't rely on stock photos and safe choices. Pictures worth more than a thousand words.
For Startups
You're building something new. You need someone who understands both the technical architecture and the creative vision. Someone who's been in enterprise boardrooms and basement studios. We help startups find their voice, build their presence, and sound like themselves.

Why "Tin Balloon"?
A tin balloon shouldn't fly. It's too heavy. It breaks the rules of what balloons are supposed to be. Such, constraints breed creativity. When you can't do the obvious thing, you find the interesting thing.
We work with people whose ideas shouldn't work on paper. The musician who wants their album to sound like architecture. The startup that refuses to use corporate speak. The writer whose story doesn't fit a genre.
The tin balloon flies because someone figured out how to make it fly.
