Design Thinking

Sometimes both the problem and the solution are unknown. Often times, the solution is the first to be defined without thoroughly understanding what truly needs to be solved. Design thinking is collaborative, exploratory, creative and makes ideas tangible.

Strategic Communications

Today, your options to communicate seem limitless. Yet, no single message can be out of sync. When attention is at a premium, every point of contact is critical and “character counts.” Strategic communications is an integrated, cross-channel approach to help build the volume and reach of your “echo.”

User Research

Understanding the true nature of those you connect with is essential at a very specific level. Knowing and prioritizing what’s important — the wants, needs, motivations and behaviors of your intended audience helps you make an informed-decision and fosters the opportunity for greater innovation.

Digital Design

High performing digital design is complex and specialized. Empathy, active listening, collaboration, respect, optimism and the willingness to apply and adapt many layers of requirements make for the most effective solution.

Development

Client-side, server-side, widgets, plug-ins, scripts and styles — thousands of lines of code bring your vision to life. For you, the technology must be seamless and reliable. For us, it is ubiquitous and always at the ready.

Agile Movement

Bringing it all together, our work has a cadence — a rhythm and flow that guides the work we do, when we do it and how we create-to-innovate efficiently and effectively. With increased checkpoints to make informed decisions, even pivots, when necessary — Agile affords us repeatable success with a clear path (an iterative, cyclical process) and precise commitments to follow.

About us.

We are a full service digital agency with deep roots in design thinking.

We live by our own code: rethink fearlessly.
Exploration, synthesis and validation is our modus operandi.
We contextualize “what is” to solve the “to be.”
We help you thrive in this ever-changing digital landscape.

Our work goes well beyond your website, your mobile experience, your social interactions…

We build trusted relationships, satisfying experiences and honored communities.

Meet the Executive Team.

With over 15 years of side-by-side collaboration, we live and breath this work together out of passion for our craft and our commitment to “putting people first.”

Heather Dority

CEO | Director of Strategic Services

Understanding what moves the heart and mind, especially in the “Always On” digital age, is what fuels me. Some may say it’s the coffee, but really the drive to fully explore and create positive experiences just runs through my veins. I see ideas and answers in unrelated things. Not ashamed to say, I write in hashtags. #sorrynotsorry

Avery Dority

COO | Director of Technical Services

Working with and keeping up with technology is like a competitive sport to me. The game is always changing. New tech always has me stepping up my game. I love the challenge — the mental workout — to make it all click! I love the sense of achievement, knowing how hard I played the game.

Tracy Roberts

CCO | Director of Creative Services

You get a lot of perspective from rock climbing — every detail is important. The boulder ahead may look big, but when you are up close, you can see it for what it is worth. That’s how I approach design. Everything in design is about calculation and risk. The outcome is thrilling.

Don't be afraid to start over. It's a brand new opportunity to rebuild what you truly want.
