The life sciences creative strategy studio, built in Seattle.

Seattle is home. It's where we started in 2001, where we're based, and where a great deal of our work begins, a few miles from the labs, spinouts, and research institutes redefining human health from the Pacific Northwest.

Why Seattle

Home, not a market we entered.

Seattle is one of the most concentrated life science ecosystems in the country: a rare density of foundational research, category-defining biotech in cell and gene therapy, immunology, and synthetic biology, and the global health institutions that turn discovery into worldwide impact.

Teams here are often building something the world has not seen yet. That means the science has to be made legible before it can earn the capital, partners, and belief it deserves.

How we help

From a first identity out of a spinout to a funder report on a global health program.

A startup’s first identity out of a university or institute spinout. A growth-stage company preparing to raise. A global health program reporting results to funders.

We bring science value articulation, brand, mechanism visualization in static and motion, web, and strategic communications, as one interdisciplinary team.

Our connection

Ballard, and the communities we teach in.

We’re headquartered in Ballard, at 1118 NW 50th. Our team lives and works here, serves on boards in our fields, and teaches in the local design and science communities, including guest lectures at the University of Washington.

If you’re building the future of health in Seattle, let’s talk.
