ABOUT US / who we are

We are located in the cold north (Minnesota). We specialize in simple designs and user interfaces that open up communication channels between you and your target audience. We love to help brands grow online and on mobile. We have created marketing and e-commerce platforms for our customers. We do this by starting simple and iterating over and over to work out the exact solutions our customers need. We are not looking to build a website for you. We are looking to help you solve a problem.

Kevin Kaske

Kevin Kaske started with web design back in the infancy of the web. His skills have become further developed as the net has become a major platform. Kevin is half designer and half programmer. He has found that he likes back-end development even better than interface and web design. He currently dreams in his favorite programming language, Ruby. Kevin believes that there is a "right tool for the job". Finding the right tool is a part of the process. He has been involved in integrating legacy systems with web interfaces, setting up web services, building social and financial applications. In addition to all of the programming stuff, he stays caffeinated and loves his Mac.

Nathan Thompson

Design is something that has intrigued Nathan as long as he can remember. The statement, "One never has a second chance at a first impression.", is a mantra that has shaped every angle of Nathan's life - especially his life as a web designer. But beyond a stunning first impression, a great design will also provide an even smoother experience for the user. A good design, whether intricate or simple, has to be functional for the user to truly enjoy it. That's Nathan's forte - User Experience. In a life filled with millions of decisions, Nathan believes that a great design eliminates unnecessary decisions, brings clear and concise purpose, and funnels the user to their desired result - all without unnecessary minutia.
