Our story · 20+ years in the making
New studio. Two decades behind it.
Stabit is founder-led by David McThomas. His 20+ years of experience came from direct product and delivery roles within teams across the organisations below — launching products, improving live services, designing and delivering apps, and leading product management. He has brought that experience home to the Isle of Man to put seasoned judgement directly into the work.

The experience behind the studio
A career spent making digital work useful.
Different sectors and different stages of growth, connected by the same work: understand the need, bring people together and deliver something that earns its place.
Launching products
David has worked directly inside product and delivery teams taking new ideas from an uncertain beginning to a useful first release. The work taught him to find the essential story, make decisions early and keep a launch focused on the people it is for.
Improving products at scale
Live products bring a different discipline: listen closely, understand what is getting in the way and improve without losing what already works. Years spent in established organisations sharpened that judgement across complex services and large teams.
Designing and delivering apps
From shaping journeys to working alongside design and engineering, David has helped teams turn product intent into digital experiences people can actually use. That practical delivery experience now informs every Stabit website, app and product.
Leading products and delivery
Product leadership means holding the customer need, the commercial reality and the delivery detail together. David brings that joined-up view to Stabit, with senior judgement close to the work from the first conversation to handover.
What that means for your work
Experience, translated into outcomes.
Easier action
Journeys, words and interfaces designed to make the next useful step feel obvious rather than demanding.
Built to last
Thoughtful foundations and maintainable delivery, so the work can keep serving you as needs change.
Yours
A direct working relationship and a result shaped around your organisation, not a borrowed template or a hidden production line.
Why Stabit?
A name with some backbone.
Stabit comes from the Manx motto Quocunque jeceris stabit — in plain English, “whichever way you throw it, it will stand.” It is a useful standard for digital work: grounded, adaptable and made to keep doing its job.

I lead every Stabit engagement personally. The point of a small studio is not to look bigger than it is; it is to put experienced judgement directly on the work.
A useful place to start
