The studio
Studio
House of May is an independent studio. It builds and operates its own products across software, music, and publishing.
House of May is an independent, owner-operated studio, formed in California in 2026. It exists to build and hold a small portfolio of its own ventures. It is not an agency and does not take on client work. Everything here is something the studio makes, publishes, or operates itself.
The studio works on a few things at a time and tries to do each one properly. Every venture carries its own name, its own identity, and its own standards. House of May is the company behind them, accountable for how they are built and how they are run.
Its work runs along three lines. Software, in apps like Thresho, with more in development. Music, through Dominion Sound Publishing, the studio's own label. And books, with the first two titles now in the works. New ventures are added deliberately, and named on the ventures page as they launch.
House of May LLC is a single-member company, registered in California and founded by Liam May. It is operated from Brentwood, California, and reachable at hello@houseofmay.co.
How we work
-
Owner-operated
One person is accountable for the whole of it, from the first idea to the thing that ships.
-
Craft first
A few things made carefully, rather than many things made quickly.
-
Built to keep
Ventures are made to be run and held for the long term, not flipped.
