Apps crafted with care, feather by feather

Tzinitzcan is a design and development studio for iOS and Android apps. We take care of every part —the idea, the design, the code, the art, and the sound— just as the amantecas cared for every feather in their mosaics.

The name

Why Tzinitzcan?

In Nahuatl, tzinitzcan is the name of a bird from the forests of Mexico, a relative of the quetzal: green on its back, red on its chest, with a long, striped tail. Famous for appearing in the Nican Mopohua evoking the heavenly song that preceded the apparitions of the Virgin of Guadalupe, its feathers were among the most prized by the amantecas, the masters of feather art, for crafting their mosaics.

That's how we want to make apps: few in number, made with patience, caring for every piece until the whole shines. 

We believe in apps that feel handmade: with story, with care. We do it because we believe in doing things for the greater glory of God.
