About Eight Bit Studios

We're Chicago's premier interactive team for executing the highest quality end-to-end solutions.

What's that supposed to mean?

• We're doing completely custom iOS experiences for iPhone and iPad. Anything from utilities to games. If you can dream it, we can design and built it.
• The highest-end user experience and interaction design that includes branding, mood boards, story boards, hand drawn typefaces to custom illustration, 3d modeling, to interface design.
• We're one of the last independent Ruby on Rails shops in Chicago doing enterprise level work. Yes, Groupon hasn't taken ALL of the best engineers yet. ;)

With whom have you guys performed the act of checkmate?

• Amazing national brands like Trident, New Balance and Hasbro
• Chicago icons like The Field Museum and Threadless
• Entrepreneurs & Startups looking to kill it like DealsGoRound and WisePatient

Why should I partner with Eight Bit over other agencies?

• We're not an agency. We're a studio. This means in addition to client work, we build our own products from the ground up. Our team has a unique perspective on projects that puts the emphasis on production quality and value instead of focusing only what we are personally responsible for. Our heads are baked into the entrepreneurial drive to see a product born, grow and succeed in the marketplace.
• Our culture is journey-based, not destination-based. This means we're just as concerned about the relationship and experience with our clients as we are with the final product. We celebrate every aspect of what it takes to achieve a projects goals and focus on the collective strength we gain by collaborating at every step of the process.
• We're very selective about the projects we work on and who we collaborate with. We don't take on fodder projects just to keep our team busy. We look to align our culture and values with every opportunity that crosses our path. When we do commit, we treat our clients and their brands like our own, taking pride in every detail and not being shy about it. Our measure of success is a showcase quality portfolio piece that we're eager to talk about.
• Our goal is to become a flagship studio for Chicago. We want to provide the forum for what the best talent in Chicago is capable of achieving through user experience, design and execution.
• Our work has been featured in publications such as USA Today, BrandWeek, MSNBC, Fast Company, The New York Times Blog, The Daily Beast, and garnered attention in multiple Ruby on Rails and CSS industry blogs.

Two bit ideas will not be entertained.
