Our Tech Stack in 2025: Nuxt, GSAP & Beyond

Every studio has opinions about tools. Here are ours, and more importantly, why.

The core

Nuxt gives us SSR, file-based routing, and a module ecosystem that keeps feature work out of config hell.

Three.js and Spline cover our 3D needs at opposite ends of the authoring spectrum.
