What makes us different? We are not the only organization that produces exceptional work for our clients. What sets us apart is our working principles.

These principles flow into who we hire. Who we work with. And ultimately how we work. This approach isn’t for everyone. And that’s ok! For the right people and clients, it unlocks incredible results.

Our five working principles are: Same Team; People Before Pixels; Less, But Better; :shipit: and Make It Better. These principles all are dual sided – they reference the products we are building and the team dynamics.

The truth is that most software sucks. It is hard to use. It frequently takes longer to build than originally budgeted. And it rarely meets the business objectives. In fact, over 70% of Digital Transformation efforts fail. Considering that 7.3 trillion dollars are expected to be spent on digital transformation over the next 2 years, that’s a lot of money wasted. That’s compounded by user frustration, missed outcomes, and annoyed colleagues.

This is a big reason why the majority of businesses fail in their first 5 years and 90% of Fortune 500 businesses from 50 years ago either don’t exist … Read More
