Founders: Two engineers who share too many Slack memes

We started this in a DM.

One of us was a Data Analyst at Bolt. The other was a Software Engineer at Wise. We spent years sending each other screenshots of corporate moments that made us laugh, memes about meetings that could've been emails, and jokes that only really land if you've been in those rooms.

At some point, we realized: this kind of humor didn't have a proper home. There wasn't a brand for the quietly competent engineer who wanted something more thoughtful than "code lol" merch. So we decided to make one.

Asocial Penguin Labs exists because we wanted apparel that matched how we actually think — compressed, precise, intelligent, and subtle enough to wear to the office without raising eyebrows.

We're not cynical. We're just observant. We appreciate efficiency and have a soft spot for dry humor.

This started as a hobby project and grew into something we're genuinely proud of. We design every print ourselves. We test every phrase against the same question: Would I actually wear this?

If it feels too loud or explains the joke too much — we start over.

Our products:

  • Premium basics in neutral tones
  • Thoughtful humor that assumes you get it
  • Text-based designs that look professional but signal to the right people
  • No loud graphics. Just quiet, precise expression.

We're building this for a specific kind of person. If you've ever had a thought during a meeting that you'd only share with one trusted colleague — this is for you.
