Design studio focused on the intersection of digital technology and physical architecture.
About us
Part design studio, part brand agency, part management consultancy, part production house -- Cactus is a first-of-its-kind hybrid. We design and build new experiences, products and services at the intersection of digital technology and physical architecture. Our work usually includes brand strategy, architectural design and fabrication, business design, software development, hardware development, video and animation production and immersive experiences. Our projects are purposefully divided into three equal categories: client collaborations, ownership positions in startups we believe in, and in-house projects we take on because we believe we have a chance to change the world. We are close knit crew of artists, producers, coders, builders, and technologists. If you're a big thinker with the drive to change the world, we would love to hear from you!
