Case studies

A platform bringing major-label music tools to every artist. We designed and built the full system — distribution to 200+ streaming platforms, unified analytics from multiple sources, and automated royalty processing — powering millions in annual payouts from bedroom producers to platinum artists.

For Amant, a two-block arts campus in Brooklyn, we created a system uniting architecture, identity, and technology. A mathematical flower, integrated signage, and a website powering every touchpoint work together as one system for programming, operations, and growth.

A website for The Shed, built to match its architectural ambition and dynamic programming. The platform handles most ticketing and membership sales while seamlessly connecting on-site and online experiences. Its on-site “At the Shed” mode turns the website into a streamlined companion for visitors.

A Webby-winning digital guide for JAY-Z’s complete takeover of the Brooklyn Public Library. The platform helped turn the branch into one of the city’s most visited cultural destinations, drawing more than 600,000 visitors in three months.

An award-winning mobile guide for the Smithsonian’s national museums. The platform uses browser-based image recognition — no app required — to connect visitors directly with artists and curators. It launched at the Hirshhorn Museum and has since expanded to multiple Smithsonian sites.
