A Technology Solutions Kitchen

Blending the perfect balance of design, user experience, science, and innovation to solve business challenges.

Who We Are

Engineers. Experience Designers. Technology Chefs.
We craft technology solutions like an Italian grandmother crafts her pesto — with passion, care, and the finest of ingredients. Admittedly, Nonna’s pesto tastes much better than anything we create, but our products are guaranteed fresh and made to withstand the test of time.

How We Work

When Nonna cooks, she makes sure to know the recipe and ingredients. She organizes and preps the kitchen; salts the water; never crowds the pan; inspects and adapts every step of the way; cleans as she goes; and always delivers a culinary masterpiece.

Crafting technology isn’t much different. We research and discover; gather content; plan and design; verify and demonstrate; deploy and evaluate; implement and maintain. Our result is your masterpiece.

From discovery to market disruption, we utilize agile principles—constantly inspecting and adapting—to ensure audience engagement.
