About Us
Tanagram Partners, established in 1992 as Tanagram, Inc., has a legacy of digital excellence with world-class graphic design at its core. Founded by Anthony Ma and Lance Rutter as a boutique design agency, Tanagram was one of the first design firms to embrace technology and the internet, setting standards for the rest of the design profession. The first corporate web site, the first interactive presentation, and the first interactive laptop tool designed by Tanagram during the mid-nineties were all award winners in significant national design competitions—adding to our widely recognized print and corporate identity solutions.
What We Do
Today, We are immersed in complex digital environments. We innovate, design and build human computer interactions for products you use at home, work and mobile. This includes web and software applications ranging from interfaces for a single interaction to complex product ecologies. Our goal is to help our clients build customer relationships, as well as establish and maintain a competitive advantage. We achieve this by creating demand for their products and services through accessible and powerful digital solutions. We infuse applications with systems and processes that ensure continuous performance improvement and clear results.
Why We Are Different
Tanagram designs and builds software and hardware technology that helps people connect and succeed in today's complex, data-rich world. We prototype hardware using Arduino processing units, design interfaces for extremely complex applications, and always seek to simplify our users workload. Many of our applications are used where a life is literally on the line.
We believe technology, taught proper manners, should be our friend.

Our team is comprised of strategists, researchers, user-experience designers (UXD), multi-platform developers, and project managers. We embrace an inquisitive, collaborative, ambitious, adaptive, fastidious, and inspired approach that demands cross-disciplinary thinking and is rooted in creativity.
