KRUTSCH

KRUTSCH designs and builds digital products, with its office in Bloomington, Minnesota. The studio starts with customer research and end-user testing, using its own AppSight method, then moves through product strategy, UX and UI design, design systems and prototyping. Its engineers then build full-stack web and mobile apps, connect them to cloud services, APIs and older systems, and publish them to the app stores.

AI work is a growing part of the studio. It assesses whether an AI feature is practical, designs interfaces for AI-powered products, builds custom AI applications and agents, and monitors them once they run. It also uses low-code tools where they suit the project, and it handles hardware and software integration for connected devices. Published work includes a web app for the veteran-led group R.E.D.E.E.M. that uses AI to match veterans with VA and state benefits, a guided low-code legal platform for U Do It Legal, and new ordering apps for Shaw/Stewart Lumber.

The firm was founded by Ken Krutsch, a software architect with several US patents. Its clients come from healthcare, legal services, housing and construction, building supplies and early childhood education.
