INDEPENDENT SOFTWARE STUDIO / 2026
Eirvanta is an independent product studio. We design, build and operate products of our own—and work with founders and organisations to create products for them.
[ STUDIO / 01 ]
Eirvanta is a founder-led product studio working between Oxford and the United States. We create and operate products of our own, and take on selected commissioned work where clear thinking, strong product design and dependable engineering matter.
The people you speak with are the people who define, design and build the product. No account-management layer. No handoff to a distant delivery team.
Eirvanta is led by Sean Murphy, a product and technology leader who has spent more than two decades designing software for complex, high-consequence operations. His work spans automated underwriting, healthcare decisioning and contact-centre platforms used by major US insurers. He served as CTO of a healthcare technology business acquired by Xerox, later led Intelligent Automation Solutions at Conduent and subsequently co-founded Vistio. Now based in Oxford, Sean leads Eirvanta’s products hands-on—from the first question through design, architecture and operation.
Louanne Murphy is a full-stack developer and creative technologist taking a leading role in Eirvanta’s next stage.
After attending Microsoft Build at 16, she went on to speak at the conference at both 17 and 18, presenting alongside Scott Hanselman. She later became a partner at Seattle-based development studio INTDEV, where she worked directly with clients including Microsoft, Parallel, Browserbase and Bluesky, turning ambitious ideas into polished, production-ready digital products.
Now based in Oxford, Louanne helps shape Eirvanta’s products from their earliest concepts through design and implementation. She brings deep technical ability, strong creative instincts and a contemporary understanding of how exceptional digital products should look, feel and work.
[ WORK WITH US / 02 ]
We work with founders, established businesses and organisations that have identified a valuable problem but need the right product shaped around it. Eirvanta can take a product from its earliest definition through experience design, engineering, launch and ongoing operation.
Clarify the users, the underlying problem, the product boundary and the commercial model before committing to the solution.
Create the product experience and production software as one coherent system, with design and engineering decisions made together.
Deploy the product, observe how it performs in real use and continue improving it after launch.
Our existing work reflects several ways of working: serving as the product and engineering partner to a separately operated company, creating a jointly owned product with a business partner, and taking our own ideas from first principles through to live operation.
Engagements are divided into clearly defined stages, with transparent scope, fixed pricing where appropriate and operating costs understood before launch.
Discuss a product[ WORK / 03 ]
Eirvanta’s work includes long-term product partnerships, products created with business partners and products conceived within the studio. Each begins differently, but the standard is the same: understand the real problem, design the complete experience and remain accountable for how the product performs in use.
