Design Services
We specialize in technological solutions, and our design department is no exception. We offer a variety of services with respect to technical design, from hardware and software consulting to technical, functional, and interface design, to data and information architecture. We do some visual design in-house, but usually rely on the more graphic-oriented skillsets of some of our partners. We are also quite experienced in interfacing well with pre-existing design materials and documentation, and are comfortable carrying the development torch after the designers have finished.
