We're proud of what we've made with our partners.
Building a kinder, less wasteful world.
Imperfect Foods brought us into the fold during an explosive growth phase to help revitalize the design, tone, content, and overall information hierarchy of their marketing website. Following a successful launch of the new site, we then turned our eyes to the future with Imperfect, and through a hugely collaborative effort, ideated, refined, and stitched together a product roadmap for the years to come.

“Make&Model were the perfect partners for Imperfect Foods. We were blown away by the depth and breadth of their creativity and commitment - truly, no stone was left unturned. There is so much uncharted territory to navigate in a company's growth stages and they helped us do so with empathy and grace.”

Training marine AI through human UX.
We worked with the CVision team to design a web-based open source software experience that allows marine biologists and researchers to efficiently transform huge amounts of raw oceanic footage into data they can use, manipulate, and train their AI models against. Some of that data even gets used to pilot autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

Leave the Earth, better.
Better Place Forests needed a more compelling way to both tell their story, and to evolve their online presence. By focusing on the mission and the people it seeks to help, and thinking holistically about the story telling tools available, Make&Model developed a comprehensive content and design strategy to reshape and refocus Better Place Forests' online presence.

End-of-life planning isn't an easy subject to talk about. It can be uncomfortable, grim, and fraught with complications. Better Place Forests, an organization providing a sustainable alternative to cemetery burials, is looking to change that.
“We knew we could trust the quality of work from Make&Model, but what was truly impressive was their ability to collaboratively problem solve, to remain organized with an ambiguous starting point, and their thoughtful, empathetic leadership. Stated another way, it really felt like they were in the trenches with us and received and incorporated team feedback thoughtfully and elegantly.”
