Numina Labs
Numina Labs is a research-to-product studio based in Amsterdam. We build human-centered AI products and software — both our own and for the companies we partner with.
The name comes from the Latin numen — a divine force, the spirit that animates things. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to: not software that merely functions, but software that feels right. That makes something move.
Behind the studio
Numina Labs is built and run by Justus van Eijk.
Before going all-in on AI and software, Justus spent years across disciplines — writing and producing an animated sci-fi series, Nova Pangea, entirely by hand in Unreal Engine, working in front of the camera as a model, and quietly teaching himself to build software that actually works.
That cross-disciplinary background isn’t incidental — it shapes how Numina Labs approaches every project. Design matters. Story matters. The human using the product matters more than the technology serving them.
Today, Justus is building a suite of products under the Numina Labs umbrella — PASO, MESAi and Linestash — while studying Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam, keeping a few research threads open, and partnering with companies that need a thoughtful engineering and AI hand.
Nova Pangea
An original sci-fi series, pitched with a teaser made entirely by hand in Unreal Engine — every shot modelled, lit, animated and cut by one person. No AI, no stock, no shortcuts. It’s where the studio’s build-it-yourself instinct comes from.
Partner with Numina Labs
We take on a small number of external projects each year — AI integration, software engineering, and product consulting. We’re selective, because the work has to fit. If you’re building something that needs a human touch and technical depth, let’s talk.
