About SWARM
At SWARM, we like to have fun as we push the boundaries on what can be done when you combine great design with solid development and marketing that gets noticed. On the surface, we make apps for iPhone, Android, Smart TV, wearables and emerging technology. Behind the scenes though - we draw, doodle, and solve puzzles. Usually, those puzzles are in code, product, or design. We’'re just a bunch of individuals who are passionate about technology.
Truth be told, we’re not just a services company. We experiment and hack a lot. Sometimes those experiments fail (like an anonymous twitter chat app) and sometimes they get pretty good traction, get noticed and win!
Also, we're pretty big on education and learning forever. We’re always tinkering and evolving our processes, working out how to build better apps, challenging why certain designs work and why others don't, and we'll happily share with you as you grow in your skillset.
Our 10 person team is in a co-working space with plenty of comfy collaborative areas, and is beautifully situated in the Flatiron district.
