We are smart, kind, and highly skilled, bringing an extraordinary range of technologies, approaches, and creative problem-solving to the table to build the next generation of collectible products.
We believe in context, not control-trusting each other to do the best work possible while achieving our shared objectives. We are distributed across multiple countries and time zones, and we embrace communication, clarity, and candor to collaborate seamlessly. To put it simply, we have fun building things that are actually fun to talk about at dinner parties or awkward school functions.
Our team is comfortable with uncertainty and change-we thrive in new business sectors, adapt to innovative business models, and take on novel product concepts with confidence. We get our hands dirty, take brave and thoughtful risks, and take full ownership of our work. And most importantly?
