What Studio NAND does

Studio NAND is a Berlin-based design and technology studio founded in 2011 that operates as a professional services agency. The firm delivers bespoke projects across four primary verticals: Public Health, Mobility, Sustainable Environments, and Emerging Technologies. Core deliverables include interactive data dashboards for government and healthcare clients (Infektionsradar for the Federal Ministry of Health, QCare Qualitätsatlas Pflege for AOK, Gesundheitsatlas covering 27 million insured individuals), AI-driven decision tools for enterprise and mobility (Peakspotting and Spotti for Deutsche Bahn using ML forecasting and NLP), environmental data platforms (LA Energy Atlas with UCLA, Mapping Environmental Correlations for the Umweltbundesamt), and emerging-technology experimentation (Soli radar gesture ML with Google ATAP, Made to Measure with generative AI voice cloning, the Blanq crypto wallet MVP). Each engagement is a custom-built digital product combining data science, data visualization, UX/UI design, and full-stack web development; Studio NAND does not sell a shared SaaS platform.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements with government agencies, healthcare organizations, corporations, and research institutions, primarily in Germany with select US work (UCLA). Pricing is quote-based per engagement and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is content-led: case studies on the website, a 'Design for Decisions' white paper lead magnet with lead capture, organic social media, and direct outreach via [email protected] and +49 30 492 091 30. The studio is owned and operated by partners Stephan Thiel (Managing Director), Steffen Fiedler (Production Lead), and Jonas Loh (also listed as a representative under HRB 173837 B at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg), with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
