Nice company, not really too exciting. You have a lot of freedom during the day and working with the team is amazing.

Designs are not being produced and there's not really a clear guidance or direction unfortunately.

Thanks for your review. We are a company passionate about design, which stems directly from our CEO, Dax. We truly believe that design simplifies the complex. It's been a long time coming, but I'm happy to share that we've built a brand book to really showcase our identity, which will in turn provide the clear direction you felt was needed. Thanks again.
