From fire lines
to front ends.
Nicholas Marnocha — Founder & Lead Developer
01
Water & Fire
Seven years guarding Seal Beach as an ocean lifeguard, then CAL FIRE — firefighter and EMT on the ground, aerial firefighting crews in the sky, helicopter and aircraft base manager. Calm isn't a personality trait. It's trained.
02
The Pivot
Operations specialist for space and logistics companies by day; JavaScript, React, and AI systems by night. Certified in AI by Google and Anthropic — then founded and shipped two software ventures solo.
03
The Haus
FROGHAUS STUDIOS is the result: AI generalist, developer, designer, and cloud engineer in Huntington Beach, building with operator discipline and designer obsession. Small by choice. Venomous by design.

The Metamorphosis
2013 – 2020
The Water Years
Seven years as an ocean lifeguard for Seal Beach — thousands of rescues and preventative saves, reading water, making the call before anyone knows there's a call to make.

05 / The Habitat
Meet the family.
Five species, five philosophies. Run your cursor across the terrarium — each one earns its place in the name.
Red-Eyed Tree Frog
Agalychnis callidryas
Grips any surface
Adaptable to any terrain — Webflow, Shopify, WordPress, or a full custom stack.
Blue Dart Frog
Dendrobates tinctorius azureus
Wears its warning in electric blue
Bold color, zero apology — the studio's design philosophy in amphibian form.
Golden Poison Frog
Phyllobates terribilis
The most potent on Earth
Two inches long and untouchable. Small studio, venom-grade output.
Strawberry Dart Frog
Oophaga pumilio
Fierce beyond its size
Defends territory twice its weight — like a small business out-punching its market.
American Bullfrog
Lithobates catesbeianus
The apex presence
When the project calls for sheer scale — catalogs, checkout, custom platforms.
