Configurators, interactive experiences, AR, apps, brand websites, and campaign microsites — engineered in-house, not handed to a vendor.
Tools that let people build the thing before they buy it. We’ve done two for HP — a meeting room and a printer — where the job is making a complicated product line feel like a series of easy choices.
Browser-based ideas that do something rather than just sit there. An interactive typeface built from gerrymandered districts, a museum’s Impressionist collection turned into a game, a cat’s-eye view of the world.
Augmented reality that ships. Snapchat Lenses for the Art Institute of Chicago, the City of Chicago, and the Allstate Foundation, plus an AR prototype for McDonald’s Happy Meal.
When a browser tab isn’t the right container. Native apps, utilities, and internal tools built to do one job properly.
The site a brand actually lives on, built from scratch or refreshed in place. Full-bleed photography, motion that stays out of the way, and a back end the client can run once we hand it over.
The site a campaign needs for six weeks, built as carefully as one that has to last six years — because the traffic spike only comes once.
