Senior engineers and designers for public agencies, schools, labs, nonprofits, and companies. Three generations of platform for the same county since 1997. Woman-owned, WBE and SCS certified.
“We have had the privilege of working with Meserow Design Inc. for the past 25+ years…There’s no one else I’d rather do a complex software project with.”
In production
A county capital program, a state compliance pilot, a regulator’s lien system, a school district’s records. We have also built for environmental labs, grantmakers, manufacturers, labor organizations, and an international society of glass artists, and we take on work in domains we haven’t touched yet, because learning the domain is the job.
PRISMnx is the system of record for King County’s capital construction program, projects, and contracts, with large portfolio management, resource management, and sustainability modules. More than $20 billion in lifetime appropriations managed, with $2 billion each year. Integrated with Oracle EBS and PeopleSoft, in production for 25 years.
Buy Clean Buy Fair tracked embodied carbon and fair-labor compliance for Washington state’s pilot, with forms agency staff evolve themselves as legislation changes. Wisconsin’s commercial lien processing runs on our software too.
Student records for the Los Angeles County Office of Education’s juvenile court schools, so credit follows a student between halls and camps. School operations for Brentwood School and the Accelerated Schools network.

How we build now
AI tooling has made legacy modernization affordable for agencies that could not budget a rewrite before. Our senior engineers build with it every day. Domain depth is what makes the output trustworthy: we know what right looks like in a capital program ledger, a LIMS, a grants database. The result is more senior attention per dollar, delivered faster, under the same controls government data has always had. The longer story is at meserow.ai.
UI/UX design and front-end development, scaffolding, test coverage, migrations, reporting layers, and media production — every screen and every line reviewed and owned by the person whose name is on the work.
Your production data. Client data is never used to train models, AI tooling runs on accounts where that exclusion is contractual, and a named engineer signs off on everything that ships.
Seven sectors so far, nineteen named engagements: county capital programs to environmental labs, schools, labor, and the arts.
Legacy migration, systems-of-record integration, UI/UX and accessibility, cloud, QA, reporting, and mobile.
Certifications with numbers, NAICS codes, insurance, past performance, security practices, and a one-page capability statement.
We have served the same government client since 1997 and built them three generations of platform in that time, each one rewritten as the technology underneath it changed, without losing the data or the users. What carries forward is the people and the domain knowledge, not aging code. In 2019, our CTO Patrick Escarcega and most of our senior engineers came over from Parametric Portfolio Associates, the fintech firm that is now part of Morgan Stanley. The engineers who architect your system are the ones who answer when it matters. That is the standard every client gets, public or private.
How we work
Your environment, constraints, and goals — before a line of code.
UX shaped around how real users actually work.
Maintainable, human-readable code your team can own.
Cloud pipelines and QA so it ships reliably, for years.
“They asked many thoughtful questions about our project — some of which I hadn’t even thought of. Our project had a challenging timeline, but they were ready for it, executed the work efficiently, and delivered a functional database with a beautiful UI.”
