You see concepts early and often, while every idea is still easy to explore.

Build
Approved designs become working software, motion and all. You try real builds at every milestone.

Tested, accessible and refined before it ships, then supported as your product grows.
About
Who you’ll work with
From the first call to launch day, you work directly with me. I’m Mike Gowan, and Oz Machine is my studio in Greenville, SC. I design the experience and write the code, so your idea arrives intact.
I care about the details people feel before they notice: a screen that answers instantly, a button right where the thumb expects it. Those details are what people remember.
FAQ
Common questions
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. Before the build begins, you get a written timeline with clear milestones.
How much does a custom app cost?
Every project has a fixed price, agreed before the build begins. If the scope grows, you see a quote before anything changes.
Why a fixed price instead of hourly?
You’re investing in an outcome, so that’s what you pay for. Modern tools make great work faster, and a fixed price passes that efficiency to you.
Can you redesign a product we already have?
Yes. I start by learning how it works and how people use it, then reshape it around what matters most to them.
Do you build kiosks and interactive installations?
Yes. Touchscreen kiosks and interactive experiences for showrooms, exhibits and branded spaces, often in partnership with design and marketing agencies.
Who will I work with?
Me, Mike, from start to finish.
Can you add AI to an app we already have?
Often, yes. We’ll find where AI saves real time, like answering questions from your own documents, and build it in so it feels native.
Do we own the code?
Yes. Once the project is paid in full, the code, designs and accounts are all yours.
