Our Story
Client-centered authenticity is our north star, and we continue to prove that great design doesn’t require great ego.
Design and Digital Space with Blake Scott of Microsoft and Emerald Seven
Chances are, you’re reading this paragraph on your phone. And our phones are just one of the numerous screens permeating our lives. Considering how much time we spend interacting with our devices, you might say we spend as much time focused on digital space as we do physical space. We design and curate the physical spaces — shouldn’t we do the same for the digital ones? Of course! To help us sort out the details, we welcome Blake Scott, who harnesses a traditional architectural design education to inform how he writes code for our modern world of hybridized digital/physical spaces.
