Tramell Thompson Field Notes
A personal site and field-organizing publication for the labor organizer and writer — built for fast, low-bandwidth posting from the field.
Web apps, PWAs, and bespoke software for community organizations, labor groups, and operators building from inside the industries they know.
Live work for clients across the tri-state area. Each engagement begins with a conversation and ends with something we'd put our names on.

A 160-year-old Prince Hall Masonic lodge needed a digital home that honored its history while serving its modern membership. We built a heritage-minded web platform spanning history, events, membership, and community resources.

A personal site and field-organizing publication for the labor organizer and writer — built for fast, low-bandwidth posting from the field.

A studio site for a Brooklyn-based photographer — quiet, image-led, with a hand-tuned booking flow that respects how he actually works.

An annual community basketball classic in PG County. Event site with registration, brackets, sponsor pages, and a hand-set print companion.
A progressive web app for transit workers — depot check-in, shift tools, and operator notices that work on subway-tunnel signal.
Custom-built, real-world software. We design, ship, and maintain — no handoffs to a third agency at the end.
Editorial-feel sites for organizations whose story matters. Hand-set type, real archives, real research.
Quiet, useful software for the back of the house — dispatch boards, member rolls, depot check-ins, field forms.
Quarterly retainers for the orgs we keep building with. Fewer clients, longer relationships, real continuity.
FutreEng is Joseph Panetta and Haron Wilson. Every project is touched by both of us, beginning to end. There is no “team” being assigned — there's us, and the work.

30+ years in public transportation. Founder of We Move New York, the largest brand for transit professionals. Runs client work, strategy, and the studio's relationship with the people doing real work in the city.
Hands-on across the stack alongside Joseph — front-end work, content systems, and the production-side details that turn a design into a live site. Brings the client's perspective to every project: what actually breaks on the ground, what users will and won't use, and how technology lands inside organizations that have run for decades without it.

Engineering lead. Builds production software, maintains the studio's technical bench, and writes most of the code that ends up in front of users.
Works across the full stack: React, Next.js, and Astro on the front end; Node, Python, and Postgres on the back end; Vercel, AWS, and edge infrastructure for deployment. Builds AI-augmented systems and integrations against the Anthropic and OpenAI APIs. Specializes in PWAs that work offline and in low-signal environments — the kind of software that has to keep running when the network doesn't.
A 30-minute call. Are we right for each other? If yes, a written proposal within a week.
We learn the actual job. We meet your people, read your archive, look at how the work is done today.
Type, layout, and a clickable prototype of the real thing. Reviewed in person where possible.
Production code. We deploy continuously to a staging URL. You see it grow week by week.
Hand-tuned launch, training your team, and the keys. Then a 30-day support window included.
Optional quarterly retainer. We keep building. Most of our clients stay.
“The site looks like it cost five times what we paid. Genuinely proud to show it.”
A 30-minute conversation. No deck. Just you, us, and the actual job in front of you. We'll write back within two business days.
We're best suited for serious engagements — typically multi-week, dedicated builds. If you're scoping a quick one-pager or working at a freelance budget, we may not be the right studio.
