Senior designers and strategists for hire

We partner with startups, digital agencies and Fortune500 companies to envision, design, prototype and launch bold new products, services, experiences and ventures.

We’re here to design a better future together. Are you?

We’re not an agency

We’re a tight-knit team of independent designers & strategists that work alongside in-house teams—mixing strategy, research and product thinking with relentless, world-class design execution to deliver long-term value.

    We’re actively looking for experienced people to join our team as co-owners.

We’re a new kind of company

  • We're all co-owners

    Everyone of us has a stake in the company. We’re in it for the long haul, and care about long-term, sustainable value.

  • Remote & distributed

    We fully embrace remote work, and thrive on asynchronous communication. But also enjoy a nice day at your office.

  • Zero overhead

    You’ll be working directly with one of us. You’re not paying for an expensive office or account managers you don’t need.

Let’s talk

We are always excited to discuss new projects, ideas or opportunities. Whether you’re a two-pizza team or a global enterprise, we’re always up for a chat.
