Software grown from nature.

NearForest is a quiet studio for frontend, AI agents, and product design — built the way a forest grows. Patient, deliberate, alive.

Manifesto

I build calm, considered software the way a forest grows — slowly, in layers, with patience for the things that take root and outlive the season.

Services

Six practices,
one ecosystem.

Each discipline is its own organism — but the roots are shared. We work end-to-end, or slot in where you need a careful hand.

My Projects

Grown in the wild,
shipped to the world.

A few of the things that took root here. Each one a different climate — the same patient roots underneath.

Process

How a thing
takes root.

Step 01 / 04Listen
01
Listen

A walk through your goals, your users, your constraints. We map the terrain before we plant anything.

02
Sketch

Lo-fi flows, rough type, system thinking. Decide what the product is for — and what it is not.

03
Cultivate

Hi-fi design and a small, working slice in production. Real code, real users, weekly check-ins.

04
Tend

Iteration, observability, light-touch retainers. Healthy products don't ship and stop.

Piotr Luśnia.

Engineer, designer and founder. I have been building software, 2D and 3D experiences since 2014, from Android apps and industrial systems to the front ends of products used by millions. I like software with a soul: visually rich, fast, and made for ordinary people.
