We specialise in experience design and work directly with small and large business and organisations, digital agencies as well as other industry peers.

As a business sixeight has evolved gradually since the mid-nineties when the digital industry was in it's infancy. Since then we have crafted what we do by working on hundreds of projects covering virtually every sector.



We're a small, flexible team with lots of ideas and experience, and apply our design principles to any digital interface. What makes us tick is good looking, functional design: ensuring digital products and services meet the needs of the end user - your customers.
