Welcome to a small, well-meaning place where design is handcrafted...
  • for television (in any standard, any definition),
  • for user interfaces large and small,
  • for the world wide web,
  • for print, for CD covers, for menus down the street so we get free food,
  • for non-profits we’re friends with,
  • for passers-by who flash large denominations of cash our way,
  • for friends of friends,
  • against our better judgement,
  • and so on.
