OUR Story

Forged in a partnership of great respect, a few friends got together on a regular basis during the second half of 2019 in earnest to establish a digital agency that brought all members long lasting fulfillment in our tenured careers as multidisciplinary artists. Then February 2020 delivered us the devastating blow of a world pandemic and we immediately closed down our high tech studio in the Pearl District of Downtown Portland Oregon.

Almost 1 year later to the date, and with a new remote-first assembly, we return with this manifesto:

"There is no individual stronger than the collective. Together we are stronger than we are alone."

VISION

As Artists, we want to evolve our craft with technology, share our knowledge with others, integrate our craft into meaningful projects that bring delight to both ourselves and our partners in exchange for fair compensation.

--

If this VISION aligns with yours... let's innovate together!

CASE STUDY
CAPiTA Snowboards

Near Field Communication App

Near Field Communication (NFC) is the set of protocols that allow electronic devices to communicate with each other by bringing the devices in the proximity wireless in contact with each other. Alongside the team at CAPiTA Mothership, we built an extensive app that not only assists the production process but also allows the brand to educate and communicate in realtime with their customer base.

CASE STUDY
Union Binding Company

Digital Catalog

In the ever changing landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to think strategically and act fast. No longer will traditional printed catalogs be an option. Our new distribution model was 100% virtual. From showrooms to catalogs. See how we leveraged existing infrastructure and built a new permissions based digital experience which will shift the paradigm of the industry from here on out.

CASE STUDY
Supple Rockers

Product Photography

For the baseball purist, there is nothing more therapeutic than the kinetic energy of a Supple Rocker. Being baseball fans ourselves, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Dan and Kim Supple to provide brand consultation, art direction and dramatic product photography of their legendary chairs crafted from the finest of materials this side of the home plate.

CASE STUDY
MCNA

Explainer Video for Kids

This was an educational cartoon produced by a national healthcare insurance company to illustrate good dental practices for children. I had complete control throughout the project including script writing, concept art, 3d modeling, lighting, texturing, animation, rendering and compositing.

CASE STUDY
Diamond Pistons

Engine Fly Through

Style frames developed for a performance piston manufacturer.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

WHAT TO EXPECT

Every client and project is different, but here is a quick glimpse at what an average project budget and development cycle looks like. We use various communication tools along the entire process including phone, email, video meetings and Asana.
‍
Sample Budget: $10,000 - $49,000

NOTE ABOUT ETHICAL PRICING:
‍

We appreciate value based pricing models, but with over 2 decades of experience we can still never justify it ethically. We prefer to establish your project budget based on estimated time/skillset (priced at fair market rates) needed to fulfill the project goals. We will invoice you against your budget at a predefined interval (usually every 2 weeks or whatever makes sense for both of us; so let's work that out together). The portion of budget that we don't use is yours to keep or repurpose towards other rad project requests. It makes all of our lives a lot easier. There are some instances where there will be costs associated to usage rights, distribution of media, and intellectual property. All pricing will be transparently communicated by your assigned account manager before any work has been performed and throughout the project lifecycle. More than likely your account manager will be Phillip Ray Guevara.
He is a trained thespian and helluva nice guy.
