A software studio building custom software.

Studio Parallel is an Australian software studio of two engineers, Joe Milburn and Hayden Richardson. We take on a small number of projects each year and build each one ourselves. You'll always be talking to the people doing the work.

Recent work.

Operational systems, integrations, and websites built around how the businesses we work with actually run.

One place to manage classes, enrolments, and payments.

Artist & Musician Website

A personal website for Rockhampton musician Jaymon Bob, built while the spotlight was on him during Australian Idol 2025.

Studio Parallel helped us bring everything into one place. Enrolments, payments, and class management are now easier to run, and our team has more time for families.

What we build.

Custom software, shaped to the project at hand. Some of it is operational systems for established businesses. Some of it is the first working version of a new product, built with founders who need to prove the idea. Some of it is software we've made for ourselves and stand behind. Three things sit inside every project we take on.

  • The system itself. Custom software built around your actual workflows. Dashboards, integrations, automations, databases — whatever your business needs to stop duct-taping and start running properly.
  • The website, built in. Your public site isn't a separate project. It's the front door to the same system — editable by your team, wired into your data, built to convert.
  • The partnership that follows. Most build relationships end at launch. Ours don't. Joe and Hayden stay on the project, shipping features, fixing issues, and evolving the system as your business grows. The same two people you started with, all the way through.

Studio Parallel is a small software studio for thoughtful digital products. We work closely with founders, teams, and businesses to design and build software with care and intent.
