We work directly with clients to create technology that addresses their business needs and activities – not necessarily just the needs of architects and designers.

This direct client contact has given us the opportunity to create a distinct identity as a team, and a distinct position within the industry.It also required us to develop skills that internal-facing teams don’t need.

Having our own clients presents us with a range of questions that we have to answer, and it requires a particular set of capabilities.We create solutions and give them to clients – for them to use.
