About Us

We were founded in 1999 in the San Francisco Bay Area by Mark Lion, an early internet entrepreneur, and Garry Lion, Partner of a Fortune 100 consulting firm. Our software development and design approaches focus on user research, data-driven insights, and innovation. Our commitment to these core values has attracted a global client base and a reputation for award-winning websites and software products.

Agility + Creativity
We’re firm believers in the impact of lean teams. By working in small pods, we’re able to design teams with the right balance of skill sets and apply them to achieve agile and sprint-based results.
Empathy + Client Understanding
We’re only as successful as the people we work with. Knowing that we’ve got skin in the game with every project, our top priority is always to ensure that the project objectives set by our partners are thoroughly met.
Communication + Synchronization
Our process involves embedding our team with yours in order to establish direct lines of communication, and to keep every stakeholder engaged and accountable.

Our Team

Our team members bring together diverse skill sets and areas of expertise. Together we apply decades of experience in digital strategy, UX design, and information technology to the digital challenges facing modern businesses.
