Partners
We maintain a close relationship with partners who excel at those tasks that are beyond our expertise, mostly User Interaction design and new media marketing. In particular, we do most of our work with the amazingly creative guys at Hunt & Gather in Boston, and with the great folks at FireHaus Studio in Amherst.
