Our mission is to increase the GDP of your startup

DrumKit began in 2019 at a kitchen table in Collingwood. Amélie Laurent had spent ten years rebuilding the same button in every product she shipped, and Nic Davidson had spent the same ten years rebuilding it again in code. They wanted one place where a component is designed, documented and handed off once.

The first version was a shared library for three local studios. It kept their buttons, inputs and colours in sync across every file, and it told a developer exactly which token a designer had meant. Within a year those three studios had become three hundred teams, most of whom found us through a friend.

Today 64 of us work from studios in Melbourne and Sydney and from home across Australia. We still review every change to the component compiler by hand, and we still answer support from the people who build the product.

We build DrumKit the way we hope our customers build their products: small teams, short loops and a design system at the centre. Every release starts with a conversation with a customer and ends with notes that say plainly what changed and why.

• One source of truth for design and code, never two that drift apart.
• Tools that explain themselves, so a new starter ships in their first week.
• Honest pricing that grows with your team, with no seat you pay for twice.

There’s a lot left to build. If that sounds like work you’d enjoy, we’re hiring in both studios and remotely.
