A real-time, real-money competition platform. Live matchmaking pairs players into rooms in seconds, a server authoritatively reveals questions and scores answers to the millisecond, and an M-PESA-powered wallet handles deposits, prize-pool distribution and instant payouts — with a double-entry ledger, fraud controls and an audited admin back office.

“We build the systems other studios call out of scope.”
— Blyss Studio
04 / Disciplines
What we build.
Not brochure websites — business-critical software. One studio, from architecture to launch to the operations dashboard your team uses every day.
- 01
SaaS platforms
Multi-tenant products with isolated workspaces, role-based teams, billing and admin. The kind of system a whole business runs on.
- 02
Fintech & payments
M-PESA Daraja, Stripe, Paystack, multi-currency wallets, double-entry ledgers, automated payouts and reconciliation. Money moves correctly and is auditable.
- 03
Marketplaces & booking
Matchmaking, real-time availability, enquiry-to-quote workflows, scheduling and order handling — the logic that makes two-sided products work.
- 04
Real-time systems
Live multiplayer state, server-authoritative scoring, synchronised dashboards and presence — built on Convex and modern real-time infrastructure.
- 05
Business & ERP software
Offline-first POS, inventory, payroll and accounting, with KRA eTIMS, NHIF, NSSF and bank integrations wired in. Internal tools that replace spreadsheets.
- 06
Web apps & e-commerce
Type-safe Next.js applications, custom storefronts with local payment rails, content platforms and the marketing sites that sell them.
Engineering, not just interfaces.

05 / How we build
Four moves. No surprises.
- Listen.
Two calls and a written brief. We map goals before we draw anything.
- Frame.
Strategy, sitemap, type, palette. Decided before pixels.
- Build.
Design and engineering in one sprint. CMS-ready from day one.
- Compound.
Analytics, content, iteration. The site gets better every month.
→ The studio behind the work
A studio of one. Plus the right people, project by project.
I'm Justine. I run Blyss Studio out of Nairobi. Most projects are me — strategy, design, build, ship — and trusted collaborators when scope demands them. Every engagement is one conversation away.

06 / Voices
What clients say.
“They drew the entire fit-out before any contractor arrived. Eleven weeks later we walked into exactly the room we had signed off in 3D.”
— Patricia Mwangi · Mchoro Mawe Designs · Karen, Nairobi
“The site stopped being a brochure and became a quoting engine. Inbound from Europe doubled in the first quarter.”
— Daniel Kipchoge · ZebraTrek Safaris · Mombasa
“Premium, editorial, and studio-grade. We added three industry awards on the relaunch and started fielding inbound from outside Kenya.”
— Livingstone · Current Digital · Westlands
“Every photo on the new site is a real install. Nairobi enquiries doubled within two weeks. The site does the trust work — we do the welding.”
— Workshop lead · Lanetech Fabricators · Nakuru
