Overview

When Gravitate was founded in 1999, we knew it was never destined to be a typical design agency. We didn’t want the bureaucracy, the revolving door of designers, and outrageous egos that we knew drove many design houses. Instead, our priorities were fixed from the beginning on three things – doing great work, treating our employees really well, and exceeding our clients’ expectations.

We never set out to be the biggest, most cutting edge, or hippest firm out there, because good business isn’t about those things – it’s about delivering outstanding solutions that are sensible and that drive profit. What’s more, talent isn’t found in European light fixtures or expensive coffee – it’s found in amazing employees who truly believe in what they do, not just in their paychecks.

What does our philosophy mean for you? It means you will get our best, no matter what your budget. It means you’ll always be able to reach someone who is working on your project when you pick up the phone. It means we will never sell you technology that you don’t need. And it means we do what we promise.

Years later, after witnessing significant growth, establishing a sales presence in Portland, New York, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and Phoenix, and gathering an awesome pool of design talent, our company is still driven by the same principles.
