Work that moves people, ideas, and organizations forward
From public health to the arts, we build digital tools that make a difference.
Build a brand and UX for a breakthrough stroke detection device
This project brought together deep tech and human-centered design in the best way. Our client developed a groundbreaking device for early stroke detection, and we worked with them to bring their vision to life—starting with brand identity and extending all the way to the interface that clinicians use on the device itself. We backed every design decision with real-world input, gathering insights from healthcare professionals through interviews and live feedback at a major industry trade show. The result is a unified, intuitive experience that supports both their mission and the people using their technology.

Create one unified experience with a modern design system and cross-platform solution
The client came to us with a clear challenge—streamline their fragmented user interfaces into one cohesive design system while modernizing their products for a 7″ touchscreen and a remote web application. To get there, we dove deep into their operations, conducting user research with service technicians and field operators to understand how their tools are used in messy, unforgiving, real-world settings. Partnering closely with their engineering team, we developed a universal design language and built out a cross-platform solution using a single codebase. The result? A modern, consistent user experience across devices that supports both day-to-day tasks in the field and remote management.

Design for two wheels and big impacts with a regional bike advocacy organization
This one’s close to our hearts. As regular riders and big believers in safe, pedestrian-friendly cities, we were proud to partner with a local organization dedicated to promoting bike culture, safety, and advocacy in the region. We built and have supported their digital presence for many years. For each of their web sites, we designed and built a flexible, user-friendly backend that supports updating event information like routes and registration from year to year while also promoting education, advocacy, and community engagement. Our collaboration has helped them boost participation and connect more people to the power and joy of riding. We’re humbled to play a small part in their big mission.

Accelerate precision medicine research by connecting mRNA designers and manufacturers
We partnered with a biotech innovator to build a powerful web application that connects mRNA designers with manufacturers—streamlining the path from concept to production. The goal: speed up the development of precision medicines while maintaining clear, secure communication across teams. We designed and engineered a system with multiple user roles, a robust messaging infrastructure, and a production-aware state machine that tracks progress every step of the way. The result is a highly specialized platform built to support collaboration in one of the most cutting-edge fields in healthcare.

Navigate growth with a custom platform for a mission-driven sailing organization
When an inspiring nonprofit (celebrating their 75th anniversary) that uses sailing as a vehicle for building community, fostering personal growth, and deepening appreciation for the natural world reached out to us, we said sign us up. Their current digital management tools, while not dating back to their opening day, could sometimes feel like it. To support their growing needs, we’ve developed a large-scale custom software platform that improves the experience and efficiency of everything they do—from class registrations and scheduling to managing memberships and assigning sailing ratings. We continue to work with their team to grow the capabilities and scalability for the next 75 years. It is a complex build, but deeply satisfying work that brings all our skills to fruition.

Design a new digital home for a community-driven arts organization
We engaged with a local arts organization that’s all about creativity, connection, and community. They needed a website that could do a lot—make it easy for people to register for classes and camps, promote their ever-changing calendar of events, support memberships, and even showcase local artists through an online store. We worked closely with their team to build a flexible, easy-to-manage site that brings all of that together in one place—so they can focus more on art, and less on admin.

Forge a fresh look and communications for a global green steel innovator
Our work with this forward-thinking green steel technology company was all about alignment—values, vision, and visuals. They needed both a global website that matched their position as a leader in sustainable steel production and a site tailored to their growing team and partners in Brazil. Along the way, we refreshed their visual identity and helped shape everything from pitch decks to trade show graphics to digital brochures. It was (and is) a true partnership resulting in a bold, unified brand presence across platforms and continents.

Deliver a website and app that work as hard as their contractors do
This project was all about collaboration. We teamed up with a top-notch refractory company to create a website and app that didn’t just look good—but actually made day-to-day work easier. From the start, we worked closely with their team (and got great insights from their contractors in the field) to make sure every feature served a real purpose. The result? A modern website for customers and a mobile app designed specifically for the folks getting the work done onsite.

Celebrate culture with a website for a Latin American museum and cultural hub
We had the privilege of working with a vibrant organization that serves as both a Latin American museum and a cultural center right here in Pittsburgh. Their website needed to reflect the richness of their exhibitions and events while also handling the day-to-day tasks—like selling tickets, promoting programming, and welcoming new visitors. We designed and developed a site that brings their mission to life online, supports their team behind the scenes, and helps more people connect with Latin American art, culture, and community.

Enable exploration with a scalable, modern site promoting statewide tourism
We partnered with the state’s official visitors bureau and their marketing agency to bring an outdated site into the 21st century. To do this, we led research and discovery efforts that included client work sessions, desk research, and interviews of other tourism offices. While the agency led the project and creative direction, our job was to take what we learned and develop the strategy for a modern architecture that met all the current needs of the organizations and users. That architecture was then used as the blueprint for the fresh visual design. From complex filtering tools to dynamic content structures and integrations, we focused on creating a seamless experience for all users—including those relying on some assistive technologies.
