# Design-Science > Independent venture design studio founded by Robb Bush in Austin, Texas. Systems that don’t exist yet. The studio explores consequential problems, designs from first principles, makes enough to test the logic, then determines what should carry the system into the world. INDUSTRY 5 and Canon Engine are independent companies. NŪMŪV is an exploration with an unresolved route to market. World Runtime is open-source infrastructure that emerged through INDUSTRY 5. Current work pages carry present positioning. Historical entries preserve dated claims and must not be treated as current product status. Conceptual generated imagery is labeled; it is not evidence of an actual prototype. NŪMŪV research ambitions are not deployed capabilities. ## Current studio and work - [Systems that don’t exist yet.](https://design-science.co/index.md): An independent venture design studio. We explore consequential problems, design new systems, and build enough to discover what should exist. - [Interesting problems welcome.](https://design-science.co/contact/index.md): You do not need a pitch deck. Start a conversation about a system that deserves a different future. - [Start with the system.](https://design-science.co/method/index.md): Explore. Design. Make. Form. A method for making the right system real. - [A place to originate things.](https://design-science.co/studio/index.md): Design-Science is an independent venture design studio founded by Robb Bush in Austin, Texas. - [Work in different states.](https://design-science.co/work/index.md): Companies, explorations, and open systems. Design-Science work in different states. - [CANON ENGINE](https://design-science.co/work/canon-engine/index.md): Infrastructure for understanding, governing, and extending narrative IP without losing the intent that made it valuable. - [INDUSTRY 5](https://design-science.co/work/industry-5/index.md): A first-principles rethink of enterprise operations for a world of humans, agents, applications, and automation. - [NŪMŪV](https://design-science.co/work/numuv/index.md): A modular transportation system that starts with the person or shipment, rather than the vehicle. ## Reading and discovery - [Notes](https://design-science.co/notes/index.md): Selected writing, with original dates. - [Archive](https://design-science.co/archive/index.md): All preserved published posts and pages. - [Content index](https://design-science.co/content-index.json): Every public page, canonical URL, Markdown URL, current/historical status, authors and dates where known, and content checksum. - [Current studio text](https://design-science.co/llms-full.txt): The current studio and work pages in one document. - [RSS](https://design-science.co/rss.xml): Published notes and historical posts. ## External systems - [INDUSTRY 5](https://industry-5.net/): The orchestrated enterprise. - [Canon Engine](https://canon-engine.com/): Narrative infrastructure. - [World Runtime](https://world-runtime.dev/): Open-source operational infrastructure.
