Pragmatics Studio is design products that dissolve the barriers of communication between them, help event-goers learn and connect more meaningfully, facilitate the creation of AI algorithms, and enable kidney failure patients to monitor and improve their health. Their focus is to help anyone that is tackling a problem in one of their three pillars: education, health care, and environmental sustainability. They’re not interested in formal client-agency relationships—think of them as your fractional product team. They enjoy talking to devs. They’re passionate. They’re emotional. Their solutions emerge from iterating, communicating, and second-order thinking. Pragmatics is their quest to make design make more sense.
