Year2004
A small room. An open beginning.
Our story begins at a borrowed desk, with a little equipment and a very large curiosity. The first independent projects taught us that listening is the most important tool a designer owns.
STORY
The moments that made us
Year2006
Learning from the life of a website.
Launching was only the beginning. Working alongside our first long-term partners showed us what happens after a website goes live — and how thoughtful iteration can make a lasting difference.
Year2013
Good ideas deserve a bigger table.
A series of intimate design gatherings grew into a place for our local creative community to meet. Sharing the things we were learning helped us see our own work in a new light.
Year2014
Connecting people, beyond the screen.
Our work began to move between digital spaces and real places. We explored how a clear idea could help people discover a neighborhood, support a maker, or find one another.
Year2016
A new name for a shared ambition.
TENFOLD became an incorporated studio. With a new home and a small, dedicated team, we brought strategy, identity, and digital craft together under one roof.
Year2018
A place for the unexpected to happen.
Markets, exhibitions, and cultural projects added a new dimension to the studio. The most memorable moments were often the ones we could never have planned.
Year2019
From an audience to a community.
We started helping partners tell their stories over time, not just at launch. A shared point of view became the thread connecting campaigns, conversations, and everyday communication.
Year2021
Putting our own beliefs into words.
We paused to define the values that had quietly guided us all along. Six principles became a common language for our team — and a promise to everyone we work with.
Year2023
Sharing the process, not just the result.
We opened our notebooks. Through talks and essays, the decisions, revisions, and discoveries behind the finished work became part of the conversation.
Year2024
A growing collection of ways to see.
Years of project notes became an editorial practice. Writing about design gave us another way to examine what makes an experience clear, compelling, and human.
Year2025
Looking back. Moving forward.
New collaborations connected culture, commerce, and the places we call home. Twenty-two years after the first project, we are still finding reasons to begin again.
