What We Do
We're building a new class of motion design for anyone with a creative flair and a taste for building beautiful products and writing great software.
Designers. Developers. Artists. You?
In 2011, we started building a simplified, but powerful, programming language for artists. Over the years, we used that language to build artworks and produce stunning apps.
Then, in 2015, we envisioned a tool that would bring the power creative programming into the hands of designers everywhere, but they wouldn't have to touch a line of code, and they could export their work to any native programming language.
Flow was launched in 2018, as a professional animation tool with a powerful code export engine.
But the vision is much bigger than just that.
