About Us

Many of today’s best ideas probably started with a single sticky note, asking “how might we…?”

Like us, sticky notes are fast, flexible, and they let you explore many ideas, quickly, until you find the right one.  So whether you’re looking to improve an existing product, make a directional change in your current product strategy, or create something entirely new and innovative, we’d love to work with you.

And, yes, we’ll bring the sticky notes!
