A small, independent studio making software that celebrates the art people already make.
Tangential Operations is a two-person company founded on a simple conviction: the wobbly, imperfect drawings people make by hand are worth more than anything an algorithm can generate for them.
We combine deep expertise in computer vision, animation, and machine learning with a stubborn belief that technology should amplify human creativity — not replace it. Every product we build starts from the same question: how do we make your own work the star?
Founded by a research scientist and a business strategist, we're bootstrapped, independent, and building for the long run.
DoodleMate brings hand-drawn characters to life. Draw on paper, snap a photo, and watch your creation walk, dance, and talk — all powered by a production-quality 2D animation pipeline that runs entirely in the browser.
No templates. No AI-generated art. Just your imagination, animated — for people of all ages.
Coming SoonQuestions, partnership ideas, or just want to chat — we'd love to hear from you.
