Thanks for visiting our brand spanking new website. This is a work in progress, an experiment without a version number. Things will change and evolve over time once we figure out what we want to do with this thing. One thing’s for sure—calling this a beta would be just lazy. We don’t wanna be like that, do we? "
First milestone of our recruitment efforts of 2013 was reached, and Mikko started here last week. Skip to the end for an recruitment update!

Last year was kind to us — we started relationships with amazing new clients and released some best work of our careers. The year 2013 is starting to look of pretty much the same caliber — and to make things even better, we're looking to hire a designer to help us go where we want to go.

Why design for Windows 8 Modern UI, and how Netflix & HBO just disrupted the Finnish TV industry.
by Teppo Kotirinta Principal Designer

Long summer hiatus is over and we are back at work and rocking and rolling again. Let’s recap some things through May, June & July.
by Sami Niemelä Creative Director, Nordkapp
I recently gave a talk in Berlin about cities, design and technology and since most services made for sharing presentations suck, here is the talk fully transcribed and noted. In case you still want your Slideshare or Speakerdeck-link, see the links at the bottom of the page. Thank you Jennifer & others at Mashable and [...]
