Dear friends,

It’s been an incredible six years. I’ve learned and grown so much as a designer, advisor, and an entrepreneur. Bionic Hippo has opened doors I never could have imagined possible. It’s something I’ll never be able to forget.

We’ve had the privilege of working on some awesome projects. I’ve had the personal privilege of working with Kevin Dean, Ian Hirschfeld, Connie Chan, Patrick Feger, Greg Skloot, and Hugh Guiney — the most talented and promising designers and developers I know.

The end of Bionic Hippo is bittersweet. It’s time for us all to explore new avenues and try new things. It’s hard to let go of something I’ve spent six years building, but that’s how you grow. We’re all excited to show you what we’re capible of.

Thank you so much.


We are the designers & developers



Bionic Hippo is an agile team of creatives and engineers who think critically and love making things.
We're located in the heart of Boston, MA and would love to grab coffee and discuss your big idea.
