About Us
Tanagram Partners, established as Tanagram, Inc., in 1992, has a legacy of digital excellence. 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.
