Why you will not see names

A project is told in numbers, not in logos.

We publish the challenge, the solution, and the measured result; the client's name we keep to ourselves. If you want direct references, we give them in conversation, with permission from whoever it belongs to. It strikes us as the right way to handle the information of the people who hire us.
