Forge Studio
What is your team mission?
We improve people's relationships with technology and services by partnering with organizations to deliver simple, human experiences through world-class strategy, research, and UI/UX design.
Introduce us to your team
Our founder has worked at top tech companies like Google, Salesforce, Zendesk, Facebook, AWS, Square, and startups of all sizes. All of our senior staff have all worked in-house at top tech companies and startups. We’re different because we bring that experience to your project.
We believe that products and services are tools for empowering people — driven by a desire to make someone’s life a little easier and simpler — and that even the most powerful and complex tools can be friendly and approachable.
