Urban Interactive is a small design studio providing design and development solutions for other creatives as well as businesses of all sizes.
What You Get
Urban Interactive specializes in the intersection of two disciplines: New Media and Architecture. We also just make websites.
Urban Interactive provides WordPress consulting and general web development, from concept to launch. We can work in collaboration with other designers and developers on larger projects, too. We help you develop visual strategies including an intuitive, consistent interface optimized for accessibility and extendability down the road.
As a resource for architects, Urban Interactive produces 3D models, renderings and animations of design proposals for the built environment. We can also provide help with video editing, sound design, motion graphics, and compositing/VFX.
Award-winning, well-published, and exhibited
The projects Urban Interactive has worked on, often in collaboration with other very talented individuals, have won awards from institutions like Ars Electronica and the New York Flash Film Festival, have been published in the New York Times, the New Yorker, Wired and Architectural Record, and exhibited at MoMA NYC, the Queens Museum of Art and the O.K. Centrum fur Gegenwartskunst in Linz, Austria.
