We have a knack for challenges that don’t fit neatly into a box.
Create a soft cooler that's as durable and rugged as hard-shell models? Embed an accelerometer, GPS, and thermometer into a tailored shirt? We've done both. These hybrid projects are some of our favorite design challenges. Leveraging our in-house prototyping and ability to quickly iterate, we strive to develop meaningful products people love to own. Our best work elevates the user experience and pushes the market.
