Digital product development specialists
Finding the right people to build and launch digital products can be difficult, with a risk of being burned by expensive recruitment agencies or let down by contractors with hard to validate skills.
Our team
We have 30+ thoroughly proven digital specialists ready to work directly with you for a few hours or a few months. They have a proven track record with us so we’re confident that they can deliver, and they’re great people to work with. We carefully select our people based on:
Very high capability in their field
Ability to self-manage
They are often multi skilled - a strong secondary skill can provide perspective (eg: UX Design with a background as a developer can propose solutions which can be practically implemented.)
Shared values - a passion for learning, honesty, integrity, focus and drive
