loop/recur - dev and design agency

Overview

loop/recur was a design/development shop specializing in web development and iOS apps. Founding members include co-founder Brian Lonsdorf, lead designer Mikey Casalaina, senior engineer Ryan Charette, and myself.

In ~7 years of existence, we worked on some pretty incredible projects with clients like Netgear, Disney, GameStop, Denso, Ipsos, Mod, Planned Parenthood, and Salesforce.

We specialized in taking projects from drawing board to production application. From initial design and prototyping to production hosting, a one-stop shop.
