About us

A small, hands-on studio.

Fobi Digital New Media is a family-run software studio based in Minnesota, founded by Professor Brian Fobi. We build games, productivity tools, and learning apps that reflect our curiosity about how people play, get things done, and explore new ideas.

We're a small, hands-on operation. Brian's background in education shapes our approach:

  1. 01

    Start with a thoughtful question.

    Every product begins with a real problem worth solving, often one we've run into ourselves.

  2. 02

    Pay attention to the details.

    Small decisions add up. We sweat the wording, the flow and the finish.

  3. 03

    Make something people enjoy using.

    Useful is the minimum. We want people to come back because they like it.
