Digital & handmade
Oso Creations builds two kinds of things: digital products you can download, and physical pieces made by hand in the shop. The bench is different. The approach isn't — measure carefully, keep it simple, and finish it properly.
The work
Finished and available today. Each one has its own site with the full story.
Books · Available now
A literary historical fiction series set in Montana Territory, written by H. Ludwig. Book One, The Claim on Haven Creek, is out now in paperback and on Kindle — the story of a ranch being built on the Shields River Valley, told in two alternating voices.
iOS app · Available now
Roster, schedule, and game stats for youth futsal coaches. Drag your lineup around a live tactical board, log goals, assists and goalie saves, and keep the season straight. Everything stays on the device — no accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions. A one-time $0.99, and ten cents of every sale goes to the Nile Garden futsal team.
Client work · Custom iOS
A couples communication app, designed and built for a client. It isn't on the App Store, so there's nothing to link to — it's here as an example of the custom iOS work Oso Creations takes on.
In development
A book review site and social media campaign, currently in development.
In the shop
Alongside the digital work, Oso Creations makes physical pieces by hand — one at a time, sold locally through Facebook Marketplace.
A few finished pieces are below. If something catches your eye, or you want one built to your own measurements, that's what the shop is for.

About
A small shop making a few things well, rather than many things quickly.
Software that works offline and outlives its release notes; furniture and objects meant to be handed down, not replaced.
The apps store your data on your own device. These websites carry no analytics, no trackers, and no third-party requests at all.
Nothing ships half-done. Products go out when they're complete, and they're supported afterward.
