We're a group of designers, coders, project managers, and communicators who spend
a lot of time online and are very passionate about the Internet. We're basically
a big bunch of nerds, but for the most part it's more the well dressed, intriguingly
hot librarian with huge glasses type of nerd than the balding, slightly clammy,
no concept of personal space nerd (although we can regress on occasion, especially
some of the coders).
We've been at the forefront of New Zealand digital design since the early 90's,
and have a long list of local and international clients who have worked with us
and loved the solutions we've developed. Our range of experience is huge - we've
worked on everything from corporate sites for some of NZ's biggest companies to
touchscreen kiosks, online games to museum exhibitions. We take the time to understand
your audience, and work hard to ensure that they understand what you're trying to
impart to them.
We work out of our new office in Auckland's Parnell, where the
good sushi joints are just up the road, but far enough that we're not in there every
single day. We have a mint coffee machine that gets a looooot of use. We have a
huge MP3 server providing in office sounds - at the very moment you're reading this
we're listening to Swim by Surfer Blood . We have a cute little deck to drink beers
on (and from which to search for random naked people in the apartments opposite).
We're easy to talk to, easy to work with, we love the Internet, and we drink too
much coffee - and that's who we are.
So as you can see, we've got it pretty well covered.
