More About Us

SKYCATCHFIRE designs and develops clever websites and applications for brands you've heard of and small companies with big ideas. Founded in 2010, we're a team of designers and developers who get excited about solving problems by crafting creative solutions.

We're a chill crew that gets really excited about the work we do. The culture is casual about serious stuff and very serious about creating stuff that impresses our clients and our peers. We challenge each other to be better. We obsess over how we build because we know it makes what we build even better. We're a small team and we like that. We also like to get out at least once a week for a team lunch and, when we're able, we skip out early to grab a pint. It's said that we're different than most companies. We would agree.
