We dream about exceptional design and experiences. Interactions that are so intuitive, motions so smooth, that you couldn’t imagine them any other way. When we don’t find these experiences in the world, we set out to build them. And that’s why we keep making more.
We are committed to exacting quality in everything we do, and we approach our work in a unique way by carefully and thoughtfully addressing the core of the challenge. We believe beautiful design is worth the cost and trust our team to find the best solutions to difficult problems. We are a product company that makes profits, not the other way around. Brainium exists because of our customers, and our customers choose us because we make great products.
We don’t crunch and we aren't "rock stars" or "ninjas". We work carefully as a team to make great bug-free software. If this sounds like something you are interested in, we’d love to pick your brain.
