Software Studio
We're a self-funded, husband-and-wife studio out of Northern Virginia. Alex develops the software, Macy runs data, product, and creative. We make native apps for iOS, Android, and the web (and take outside contracts when the work's interesting).

A social app for your apartment building or the neighborhood blocks around your house. Borrow a ladder. Lend a cup of sugar. Find out who's actually around when something breaks.
The knowledge a sales team needs to quote accurately lives in too many places: pricing spreadsheets, capability documents, past proposals, and the heads of a few senior people. Every quote means reassembling that knowledge by hand. We build systems that bring it together. Configuration rules, pricing logic, and product knowledge in one tool, so your team can align capabilities to customer requirements and produce accurate quotes in minutes instead of days.
Contact us info@fisherbirdsoftware.comWe know this problem well. One of our co-founders spent eight years in federal contracting, three and a half of those in business development, building AI-based tools to do exactly this. That is also why we start every engagement by understanding how your team actually works before we write any code. Fisherbird is a small studio in Northern Virginia, pairing senior engineering with dedicated product direction. Every engagement gets direct attention from the people building it.
We build our own apps too. Mok, Frij, and ShelfLife for the things you do every day, and social apps like Cup of Sugar sized for the people you actually know. The kind that should just work without you thinking about it.
Fisherbird is Alex and Macy. Alex engineers — eight years of senior production work before going indie. Macy directs product and creative, with a background in data analysis, research and education. Two halves of a studio that share a marriage and an apartment.
Self-funded, out of Northern Virginia. Our products have to be lean and use the most out of the resources we have (meaning we can't afford to use crazy AI features). We're fine with that.
We choose the features (with your feedback), mold the voice, handpick the vibes, imagine the colors, name the apps, and decide what's worth shipping. We use AI assistants to write code and do security & accessibility reviews, but we know how to do it too when they inevitably mess up.
