About Ink & Pixel

Two friends.
One company.

We grew up in different cities, met in Barcelona, and could not stop talking about what we wanted to build. This is how Ink & Pixel happened.

Our story

From four cities to one company.

Mihir SamtaniHawi Oyugi
  1. // 01 · different cities

    Two very different starting points

    Mihir grew up in Abidjan. Hawi grew up moving between Nairobi, Vienna and Madrid.

  2. // 02 · barcelona

    Same class, met at a party

    We sat in the same orientation and the same classroom, but we really met at a party. Mihir studied Business Management (Business Technology). Hawi studied International Business. We had both been writing code since high school.

  3. // 03 · the flat

    Roommates, then best friends

    In second year we moved into a flat with two friends. Classes, parties, and a lot of late talks about business and what we could build to change things.

  4. // 04 · side projects

    Two projects, one conversation

    In third year we each started something of our own. Both of us were building and chasing our first case studies and leads. Every time we hung out, we ended up talking about each other's ideas.

After our last uni event we were both applying for jobs. That night we decided to create the jobs ourselves.

Ink & Pixel

We put our two sides together and went all in.

How we work

One job, built and kept running.

Three things we do on every project.

01

We start from one real job

We study one workflow in your company and build the system that runs it. No pile of tools you have to figure out.

02

You can try it first

Everything on this site can be opened and tried. We say plainly what a system can and cannot do.

03

We keep it running

Every build starts from a clear base price agreed in writing, and we stay on to keep it working.

What Ink & Pixel is

AI systems tailored to your company.

Not a chatbot bolted onto your website, but the tools a growing team would normally hire for: content, bookings, sales follow-up, internal workflows.

Each system starts from how your business already works. We build it, set it up, and stay on to keep it running.
