Architecture informs the structure; filmmaking shapes the story; glass brings an eye for material. Software makes the ideas useful.

Selected work

One practice, many forms.

Tools for glass artists, work made in glass, film, records that stay useful and an illustrated world. Explore the projects, then follow the threads between them.

01 / Visual platform family

My Glass Cookbook

Four web apps for glass artists connect to the only online glass resource of its kind, bringing learning materials, product data, color matching, template planning, kiln schedules and studio records together.

Looma Studios

Looma Studios is Romy Randev’s glass-art practice: colour in panels, furniture and illuminated objects. Working with physical material also shapes the digital tools he makes for creative people.

04 / Physical-to-digital records

Everglyph

Living, updateable pages for objects and places: histories, documents, permissions, photos, maps and public scan experiences kept with the thing they describe.

Independent studio · Founded 2011

Art direction, product strategy and working code.

I studied architecture and have spent three decades moving between digital media, software, filmmaking and work in glass. BIGGFISH is where those ways of seeing and making meet.

Ways to work together

Some projects begin with a working product. Others begin with a character, collection or visual language. The best ones may need both.

01 / Digital products

Make complex material useful.

Plan and build interfaces for visual records, specialist tools and connected workflows—so people can find, compare and act on what matters.

02 / Creative worlds

Shape a world worth exploring.

If your idea starts with characters, an illustrated collection or a visual identity, develop its art direction, structure and digital expression without losing what makes it distinctive.

A path for product work

From first map to working product.

You do not need to know the whole product on day one. Start with the messy material, the people who need it and the action you want them to take.

Information Architecture Sprint

If your product, material library, archive or media collection is hard to use, start here. We audit the structure, data and assets, then define the first useful pilot.

Interactive Data Pilot

Turn a meaningful slice of real records into a working prototype with search, filtering, visual comparison and one useful configurator or visualization flow.

Visual Platform Build

Build the production version: data model, interface, workflows, permissions, administration, integrations, launch materials and support.

A world to shape or a product to build?

Start with a conversation.

Tell us whether you are building a digital product, shaping a creative world or connecting the two. Who is it for, and what would you like people to be able to do or feel? You do not need to prepare assets or a full brief before we talk. A short note is enough to find a sensible first step.
