Most people repeat patterns they never learned to see.
Slight Angle Studios makes those patterns visible — through stories you feel, tools you can use, and research-backed frameworks — so people, families, classrooms, and organizations can aim a few degrees better.
Same pattern, same destination. The loop keeps its shape.
What are you here for?
One idea, two ways in.
The Bob Universe™
Books, characters, kids' worlds, memoir, humor, and screen-ready IP — all from one character.
Enter →Patternomics™
The research engine, curriculum backbone, and organizational system underneath it all.
Explore →The Bob Universe is where people feel it. Patternomics is where people study it, teach it, and apply it.
Bob & the Blobs™
Nobody is a Blob. Everybody has Blobs. Feelings, made into friends. The Blobs turn emotional patterns into characters kids can understand, name, and work with.
One idea, told a hundred ways.
Stories with somewhere to go.
Books aren't endpoints. Every property is developed as adaptable IP with paths to screen, classroom, products, and licensing — and the studio creates its own visual media in-house: pitch decks, sizzle reels, animated POV shorts, motion graphics, and social video.
The work began with lived experience.
Survival, service, recovery, and the long process of learning that the pattern is not the person. Slight Angle exists because these patterns had to be survived before they could be seen — and once you can see them, you can aim a few degrees better.
