  • Brief

    A written seat brief: cadence, tools, and the queue you would join — identity, site, or retainer.

  • Trial sprint

    A paid two-week sprint on live work. No speculative decks. We see how you ship in the same queue.

  • Seat

    If the fit holds, you join the studio — retainer or sprint — not a revolving intern bench.

( How we hire )

A seat in the room —not a hiring desk.

You sit with the designers and producers who share the queue. Identity, web, retainer — no screen, no message passed along.

No speculative deck. If the seat fits, we run a paid two-week sprint on live identity or web.

Send a short note anyway. We hire slowly into retainer seats — if the craft holds, we keep the brief.

No intern bench. We hire people who can sit in the queue — identity, product, or web — and ship without a screen in the middle.

A written brief, thirty minutes in the room, then a paid sprint. If the fit holds, you join retainer or sprint.

( OPEN CALL )

No seat fits send a brief

If the open list misses your craft, write anyway. We keep a short bench for identity, web, and production when a retainer needs another pair of hands.
