Founded in design and trust. Two founders, hands-on from the first call to the last ship.

We take our stewardship of the design process and data privacy seriously. In the years before AI tools were available, we used three criteria to decide if our toolkit should change. First, is this new tool going to add value to this project? Second, what are the risks? Third, are clients excited to use it? If anything fails our criteria, we don't use it.

Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is a part of our toolkit. We see the value it brings as long as it's managed responsibly. We know the risks and work to reduce them. We also see that most clients are excited by how we can get value from it. However, not every client is comfortable with AI. If clients have reservations about AI, we don't use it on their projects and do the work just as well, though a bit slower. We run our design process and quality checks just as rigorously, whether AI is in the toolkit or not.

We apply AI where it makes sense. We know the pitfalls of AI bias, hallucinations, synthetic training data and copyright. We follow the best practice of “human in the loop” and have a system to manage, spot check and verify AI output. We build confidence with results, not by copy-pasting from cheerleading systems.
