Space

At this.that it all begins with a space – either physical or virtual.
For each product or project we work on, our unique research driven approach allows us to map out a solution space that informs our design and technology decisions.

Design

For this.that design is the process of taking a desire and mapping it into a tangible, gratifying reality.
Our specific approach is unique for each project as we believe that each project defines its own set of parameters.

Consulting

Sometimes this.that will act as consultants focusing on technology solutions.
We can help you transform clunky legacy systems into a nimble fleet of micro-architectures. Our and research-driven block and tackle approach enables us to enable you.

Technology

Every solution needs an implementation. For many studios that's where their work stops. This is where this.that really begins their work. Once we have defined a solution space and mathced this with a design, we build your custom solution.
