About

Client-obsessed for over a decade.

Since 2015

Nerd/Noir was founded in 2015. We're remote-first with Atlanta roots, and we've spent the years since partnering with innovators to develop better products. Not from the sidelines — in the room, inside the teams, on the real work. We have seen firsthand the absurd wastefulness of large consulting shops and constantly seek to differentiate ourselves accordingly.

Values

People
Psychological safety is how delivery improves. Teams that can say what isn't working find the constraint sooner, and fix it with less risk.
Creativity
Empowering individuals to think critically and act creatively has all kinds of wonderful side effects: more innovation, employee engagement, and joy.
Results
Outcomes over outputs. Activity is not achievement.
