Ogham Stone is a small, nimble and highly specialized software design, engineering and consulting company. We exclusively work with Apple hardware and software, not only as a platform for modern software engineering solutions, but also as a tool for graphic arts and innovative design. While we have more than 20 years of technical problem-solving experience, we also combine it with an artistic sense that isn’t always a priority of the industry in general.

Our terms of service are flexible and tailored to match the task at hand. Depending on the project scope and requirements our contracts can be flat rate or hourly, and we can offer limited onsite contact if necessary.
