Bouncing Pixel
an interactive design studio
Just Born - November 2009
We started as four creative people who wanted to build a new company for five different reasons. We refer to ourselves as The Entrepreneur, The Workaholic, The Starving Artist, and Code Boy. In reality, it's kind of hard to put a label on us as individuals. We're just excited to go to work and make stuff.

We formed of our new interactive design studio, Bouncing Pixel, in late 2009 and got off to an unexpectedly fast start. We moved into some very cool digs in southwest Houston - so cool we sometimes forget to go home to our families. Our talented team has doubled in size and is still growing. Projects are in the pipeline, on our desks, or living happily in our portfolio.
