About Bell Studios
An independent studio for useful things.
Bell Studios builds publishing products, consumer apps, and engagement systems designed around play, clarity, and connection.
The Studio
Small by design. Broad by intention.
Bell Studios is an independent product and publishing studio founded by Derek Bell.
The studio creates software, activity books, games, and branded engagement programs with a simple goal: build things people actually want to use.
Some projects become apps. Some become books. Some become custom programs for organizations. The format changes, but the core idea stays the same — create experiences that feel clear, useful, and worth coming back to.
What We Build
Products across publishing, play, and engagement.
Fan Engagement Programs
Sponsor-funded activity books for sports teams, kids clubs, giveaways, theme nights, and community programs.
Consumer Apps
Focused mobile products like PUZL and MELT, built around play, reflection, and everyday usefulness.
The Philosophy
Useful beats complicated.
Bell Studios exists because the best products usually feel obvious once they work. Whether the result is a puzzle book, a mobile app, or a sponsor-ready activation, the goal is to make something that solves a real problem without adding unnecessary friction.
