About
We’ve been designing digital experiences ever since the web existed. And that entire time we’ve stayed ahead of the curve.
An inspirational leader in the digital design industry, Jeffrey Zeldman, crowned the “King of Web Standards” by Businessweek and the first inductee to the SXSW Interactive Festival Hall of Fame, founded Happy Cog in 1999. Happy Cog has grown to become an industry-leading, diverse group of problem-solving superstars across three studios, united under the common goal of making the web a better place to think, work and play.
At Happy Cog, we openly share knowledge rather than tuck it away for some secret strategic advantage. An industry that shares information makes a better industry. We seek every opportunity to write, teach, and speak about what we do, and that's a big reason why our clients come to us.
As Happy Cog continues to evolve, we'll always be looking for ways to make digital communication, and the business that surrounds it, as meaningful and enjoyable as it can be.
