About

Made by a creator, for creators.

Ladybug is an effects studio for pictures, video, type and sound. It opens in a browser tab, and a very small team makes it.

Made by a creator

Hi, I'm Alan. I made Ladybug for myself.

I wanted one place for design and creative exploration, where the looks in my head were a few clicks away instead of a few days. So I built it. A very small team now helps me keep it growing.

We'll keep it this way: made by a creator, for creators. Small on purpose, and close to the people who use it. If you make something great, or something feels off, write to me. I read everything.

How we work

Small on purpose.

What that means for you, in three lines.

A maker answers

There is no ticket queue and no bot in front of the inbox. Write to us and one of the people who build Ladybug writes back.

Built from what you ask for

Most of what ships starts as a request. Vote on ideas on the roadmap, and see what already shipped in what's new.

Your work stays yours

Every effect runs in your browser and your projects live in a folder you pick. The privacy policy is short.

Where it comes from

Alan also teaches design at 92learns, where a quarter of a million students in 120 countries have learned to make things, starting from zero. Teaching is what showed us what designers actually need, and Ladybug is the tool we wanted on our own desk.
