About Us
Where people and ideas come together to create meaning and magic.
Who we are
Our award-winning team believes design is a process for creating meaning in the world, where physical and digital are not separate environments with different expectations, but a blended experience in which every interaction matters.
What we do
10 Thousand Design creates desire through meaningful interactions.
How we work
We mix strategy, brand experience, technology and visual design to bond consumers to brands.
Our Process
Behind every business problem is a set of human behaviors that must be shifted or harnessed to create change.
We explore every facet of the brand to find what it truly delivers that makes it worthy of someone’s time, money and love.
From captivating packaging to immersive experiences to the feel of a product in the hands of a user, every interaction matters.
