Experiments and Miscellany

Spinoffs and Small Bets

This is where we showcase work that grows out of client projects, conversations with friends, and the curiosity always surrounding open questions.

Spinoffs are small, self-directed projects we build alongside Fifth Letter’s core work. Tools, podcasts, prototypes, and services we test in the open because we feel they’re useful and worth sharing.

Not everything works. Some stay small. Some turn into real offerings. All of them start as practical responses to real problems.
