Metarelic Studio has added two new team members in Southeast Asia, extending the studio's distributed operations across three regions.

The studio operates from Grenada in the Caribbean and from Nigeria in West Africa, with team members in both regions contributing to the day-to-day work of designing, building, and stewarding digital products. The addition of two engineers in Southeast Asia brings the studio's team across a third region.

The new team members

The two new hires bring engineering and delivery capacity to the studio's growing portfolio of digital product engagements. Their addition extends the studio's working day across more hours than a two-region team can. Engagements that previously waited for the Caribbean morning can now be picked up in Southeast Asia first, with handover to the African working day, then on to the Caribbean as the next region comes online.

What this means for clients

For clients, the practical implication is operational coverage.

A studio operating across three regions can move work through more hours of the day than a single-region team. Deployments can be staged across time zones. Reviews can happen overnight in one region and be ready for action the next morning in another. Engagements with international stakeholders have someone available when those stakeholders are working.

Metarelic Studio as a distributed company

Metarelic Studio is a distributed company. The studio is headquartered in Grenada, where the leadership, the core operating function, and the Caribbean engagements are anchored. The team that delivers the work is spread across the Caribbean, West Africa, and now Southeast Asia.

This is the operating model the studio has run since its early days, and the Southeast Asia expansion is its latest extension. It is not a remote-work arrangement. It is the structure of how the studio is built.
