Our Story
"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” E. E. Cummings
A story of craft and courage
From city to countryside
The Journey
The Leap
For years, we lived the life many dream of: suits pressed, full inboxes, tight calendars. We worked in the high-paced world of corporations: designing, managing, solving, and delivering. And though the work was good, something stirred beneath the surface. 
A quiet longing: not for more, but for less. Less noise. Less rush. Less of the endless loop that left no room to breathe.
After nearly two decades in that world, we did something that felt both terrifying and deeply right: we leapt. We turned the page, packed our things, and followed a different rhythm: one set by curiosity and not by deadlines.
The Move
We traded skyscrapers for hills and neon lights for starlit skies. The road out of the city took us deeper into the countryside, to a quiet place tucked between forest and field, where the wind carries stories and the pace of life is measured in seasons, not seconds.
Here, amongst winding paths and chirping crickets, we found more than peace. We found a kind of homecoming. The kind where mornings are slow, coffee is strong and creativity flows not from pressure, but from presence.
The Craft
With hands full of expertise and seasoned hearts, we set to work, to build something more meaningful, not to recreate the busy world we’d left behind. Drawing on our years of experience in design, writing, and project management, we founded Squirrels of Transylvania. 
A brave studio with a big belief that every website should tell a story and every detail should serve a purpose.
We don’t believe in ticking the box. We believe in thinking, sketching ideas, typing thoughts and designing with soul.

Life outside webdesign
“Every project is paw-approved, mostly napped on and occasionally chewed.”
-Studio Assistant, Chief of Mischief & Morale
After hours spent shaping websites, the workshop offers a different kind of craft—where woodgrain and hand tools replace keyboards, and the focus shifts from pixels to timber.
Days unfold between sketching new ideas and restoring vintage furniture, with a keen eye for details.
Amidst stacks of timber and a chalkboard marked by dog prints and half-erased ideas, creativity takes root in stillness and focus. The camera often records these moments for our upcoming YouTube project. The sawdust on sleeves, the quiet mishaps and the gentle play of light.
Studio assistant - Houdini
“Boosts morale, steals snacks, and demands belly rubs at every meeting.”
-Tail Wagger in Chief
Every story needs a supporting character. Ours has four legs, a wagging tail, and an uncanny ability to nap through meetings. Our little rescue dog, earned her name of Houdini after she chewed through five leashes during our walks and proved to be quite the escape artist. And so, our little assistant quickly took charge of team morale.
Whether we’re sketching out ideas or sanding down a table, she’s always nearby reminding us that life’s too short not to chase squirrels now and then.
She appears in videos uninvited, photo-bombs with flair and has a sixth sense for interrupting Zoom calls precisely at their most serious moment. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
With every website we build and project we craft, she’s right there beside us. She’s our reminder to enjoy the process, take breaks and never turn down a biscuit.
Closing words
“Where the dust settles, the story begins.”
-From the quiet corner where stories and websites are made
We didn’t set out to start a business. We set out to live differently, to create with care and to rediscover the quiet joy of making something with our own hands (and sometimes, with a paw or two nearby). What followed is Squirrels of Transylvania — a studio, a workshop and a story still being written.
Each project we take on is more than pixels or polish. It’s a conversation, a shared vision, and a little moment of trust between us and the people we work with.
So here we are, crafting stories. We’re glad you found your way to our corner of the web and if you’re feeling like this might just be the place to begin something new, well… the kettle’s already on.
If you’re looking for a creative partner who listens closely, works with intention, and loves a good story — we’d be honored to meet you.
