Design is a way of thinking and working that helps move things forward.

We partner with teams underserved in design and development to define the stories, and shape human-centered strategies across product, brand, and technology — helping early-stage startups to global organizations avoid complexity, strengthen design systems, and deliver scalable, impactful experiences.

Design is a system for progress — made possible through deep, and ongoing collaboration, and a clear focus on what success looks like.

Background

The studio launched in 2014 with Jeff McWeeney as a design collaborator supporting teams at Accenture Federal, Salesforce, U.S. Postal Service, Department of Defense, and AT&T Digital Life.

Relationships quickly grew to include collaborations with Sam Adam's, Gannett, Nuvei, Truist, J.P. Morgan, AstraZeneca, Novartis, and Takeda Pharmaceuticals supporting digital strategy, product design, and connected systems.

Jeff's work continues in collaboration with startups and early-stage companies to  design, and deliver human-centered experiences built on advanced technology.

Jeff's bio from a mentor event with Sam Adams.

Jeff McWeeney

I’m a designer first-and-foremost, passionate about modern, functional design, with a strong bias toward storytelling. 

Over the last 20 years, I’ve focused on design for emerging platforms, advanced technology, and connected systems.

Design isn’t just about how something looks — it’s a way of thinking, and working that  move things forward. For me, that means creating experiences that are thoughtful, human, and built to make the digital world feel more natural.

I’ve created pioneering experiences with teams at J.P. Morgan, Salesforce, Accenture Federal, the U.S. Department of Defense, AT&T, AstraZeneca, and Intel.

And, in 2021, I founded ZeroNow—a nonprofit think tank designed to make schools safer for good.
