Our team
Founders, design leaders, makers
Exited startup founders, former chiefs of design, and senior designers, over 50 years combined experience, still small enough to move fast.
EF
Exited founders
People who have built and sold companies, so runway, urgency, and shipping are second nature.
CD
Former chiefs of design
Leaders who have owned brand and product design inside high-growth teams, not theory from the sidelines.
SD
Senior designers
Hands-on craft across typography, color, layout, and digital, so deliverables stay coherent end to end.
50
Years combined
Depth across stages, categories, and markets, without the agency layers.
