Who Are We?

Playable Technology is a skilled group of creatives and developers. Back in 2020, we started our own studio, continuing the work begun 15 years earlier as the core development team and founders of Skoogmusic. With a strong history of success, working with partners like Apple and Sesame Workshop, our goal is as it has always been: to develop innovative technology that aligns with our core mission of making play more accessible, inclusive and fun.

What do we do?

  • We have a strong innovative drive, and are constantly seeking new ways to add value to our products and creative solutions by adapting and incorporating new technologies.

    We hold several patents, and through our ongoing research and development we are continually updating and acquiring new skills and capabilities.

  • We have strong academic backgrounds spanning science and the sonic arts, from physics, computer science and developmental psychology to music technology and sound design. We continue to be actively engaged in academic research and feasibility studies.

  • With diverse interests, we enjoy working on an eclectic mix of internal and external projects. We regularly form partnerships with startups, arts organisations, creatives, and businesses to innovate across various technologies, developing and collaborating with partners and clients worldwide.

  • We have extensive experience in developing, launching and supporting new apps and products. We bring a wholistic approach to product development and commercial strategy, drawing on almost 20 years of experience across a range of industries and markets, with particular expertise in education, accessibility and retail markets.
