Description
Here at digital-telepathy, we’re charting a course towards making the web a better place, and we want your words to help get us there.
We’re a user experience design agency dead set on improving the Web and we’ve got a couple big initiatives to get it done. First, we create products (check out Filament, SlideDeck, and Impress) that disrupt the web design standard. We also work closely with an all-star group of startups by reaching deep into our creative well to meet their needs. And last of all, we share on our blog what we do and how we do it in order to inspire and gain valuable feedback from our community.
As you can see, we have a lot of things we want to say and do, spanning from our services to our products to our blog. Yep, this is where you come in!
