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? "

What happens in Redmond doesn’t stay in Redmond — or in other words — how we became the go-to Windows 8 designers in Finland.
In addition to cranking out Windows 8 applications all the time here at home, we had the luxury to attend an official Windows 8 Train The Trainer event at Microsoft’s premises in Redmond, USA. We are the first and only ones from Finland who’ve had this privilege.
