About our work culture

• We love perfectionism, results, productivity, focus and efficiency – achieved through an approach of "working smarter not harder", a love of what we do, and taking great care of each other and our community.
• We’re welcoming, energetic, compassionate, motivated, supportive, and love to have fun with the things we do.
• We’re passionate about design and the difference it can make in the world.
• We value concentration and believe that interruptions, meetings, and egos can kill productivity. That's why work often does not happen at work.
• We believe awesome results are produced when being in flow. That's why we value location independent work.
• We celebrate each other’s work and consider what we do a labor of love.
• We get inspiration from books like Rework, Remote, and Eat That Frog.
• We have no set hours, no uniforms to wear and no fixed location of work – we believe that creativity combined with skills and motivation are the keys to success rather than meaningless conformity.

Pictures from team trips

The team meets regularly in exotic locations around the world; these are some photos from our last team meet up on the tiny Thai island, Koh Ngai, and in Dubai. We have more awesome locations planned for future meetings. Not having an office doesn’t mean that we don’t have a strong team ethic – quite the reverse, it means we have a team that is dedicated to working together, everywhere and all the time.
