Pixelbrew Studio
An independent, AI-native studio building its own products, tools, and digital art.
About
Pixelbrew builds, ships, and sells its own work: software products and niche tools, alongside a separate track for digital art. AI runs through how the studio works, not what it sells.
It is not an agency, consultancy, or freelance shop. The studio exists for its own projects, made with attention and taste, and shipped slowly enough to stay coherent.
Pixelbrew is the independent studio of Karel Van Achte. He is co-founder and CTO of Evalgist, a separate company building AI-assisted evaluation tools.

Principles
- Build narrow tools that can be understood, reused, and inspected.
- Prefer evidence, source text, and measurable behavior over vague AI claims.
- Keep public work clean-room, generic, and independent from client or company IP.
