We're a friendly, creative, multi-disciplinary team,
and we love problems.
No, seriously.
Visual design, programming, building a brand strategy or marketing plan or user interface — we see them all the same way:
- "How do I communicate the value of my service with this brand?"
- "How can I make this application easy for my users? Can I make them want to use it?"
- "How can I tell my customers everything they need to know about my product so they can make a decision — and a purchase — right now, online?"
- "Am I telling the right story with my print collateral?"
- "How can I build this application in phases so that I can slowly update its features without having to redesign it each time?"
They're all about finding solutions to problems. We're creative folks; we're good at that.
Our small, hand-picked team draws on a number of different backgrounds and skill sets — from visual design to computer engineering to traditional marketing and back again. And we're hands-on — we work closely with our clients to make sure we're giving them everything they need (and nothing they don't). Everything we create is a custom solution — because every problem is different.
History
blindmicemedia began as an internet and media design group in 2000, started in Toronto by two designer/programmers who had collaborated on new media solutions in the past. Today we're a part of Elenta and operate in both Toronto and Los Angeles — but we're still as personal and hands-on as we've ever been.
blindmicemedia Rant: "Design" doesn't refer simply to the aesthetics of an element. Sure, looks are a part of it. But that's only the beginning of the appeal.
Good design means something that's well planned and executed, in both how it looks, and how it works. The kind of thing that makes you wonder how they thought to build something that way, and why no one had thought of it sooner. Details, details — that's the important stuff.
