Our
Story
Magma Studios began long before it had a name. For years, we’ve collaborated on creative projects together, blending art, music and technology, learning from each other’s strengths along the way.
In 2026, we decided to bring those skills together under one roof. Magma Studios was founded to turn shared ideas into real, thoughtful products, starting with Bearings, our first app.
We’re a small team, and that’s by design. Every project gets our full attention, from the first sketch to the final line of code. We’re excited to keep growing, take on new kinds of work, and see where our collaboration leads next.

Kara Maguire
Visual Designer & Illustrator
Kara guides the creative vision, shaping how each project looks, feels, and works. With a background in fine art and an eye for details, freehand sketches become refined iterations, bringing warmth and personality to every screen. Designing with real people in mind, she balances aesthetics with accessibility, so every interaction feels as enjoyable to use as it is to look at.
Kenn Maguire

Kenn supports the team with technical expertise, drawing on an extensive background in Python, software architecture, agentic AI, and Kubernetes. He guides backend systems and data structures, making sure every project is built on a solid, reliable foundation that’s secure and ready to scale.
