Elegant Chaos is a software development studio, founded in London in 1997 by Sam Deane. In 2011 we relocated to the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides.

We’ve worked on many platforms over the years, but specialise in the Apple ecosystem (Mac, iPhone, iPad,  TV,  Watch). Recently we’re also getting into the Godot game engine.

From mid-2012 through to the end of 2017 we spent most of our time working on Sketch. More recently we spent a really enjoyable couple of years working with some friends on a new football game, and have done quite a bit of contracting on a device management app.

Some earlier clients and products that you might also recognise: legendary recording studios Abbey Road Studios and Real World Studios; the equally legendary game Football Manager which we worked on for many years, game porting specialists Feral Interactive, and many others.

These days we’re back to being fully independent and mostly working on our own projects. This includes various Swift and SwiftUI applications, but also some work with the Godot game framework.

We are open to working on your projects too though. If you need a bit of consulting, are wrestling with a particularly nasty crash and want some ninja-debugging, have a startup proposal, or just want some help, by all means get in touch.
