We are the answer to the problem. Born out of the frustration of working in advertising tempered with the unreal opportunities of connecting ideas to tech and business models. We can never answer who we are and what we do. We do know however that we are the new breed, an anomaly that is the cure. Misfits making sense of a new world at the intersection of human insight, technology and design.
