Let's rethink tomorrow

Hi, we are dayy.

Our Beliefs

People first.

Because that’s what we all are, aren’t we? In a digital world we should never forget what it means to be human. We are empathetic and strongly believe that a successful experience always starts by focussing on the user’s context. But it does not stop there: We as a team and also our clients are humans, too. That’s why we have the interests and needs of everyone involved at heart, when it comes to tough decisions.

Driven by Story & Vision.

Because everybody loves a good story. A commitment to compelling storytelling is a red thread through all our work. It breathes life and passion into every project.Technology can send us flying to our destination, but we need the navigation of vision and story to get us anywhere worthwhile.

Design with Soul.

Because it’s in the details. Every project deserves passion and dedication, and we leave a bit of ourselves in each one. Our ambition always is to honor the craft and create tangible, beautiful and exciting things that have an emotional heart and go beyond being just functional.

There is no boring.

Because the point is to find wonder in everything. We believe everything can be exciting. It’s just a question of „how“. Through story, joy and ease we aim to create meaningful experiences that provoke a sense of wonder and delight. Our goal is to move & excite people with everything we do.

Less noise. More action.

Because we do, rather than just talk. We like to roll up our sleeves and dive in. We don’t believe in endless powerpoint decks and meetings. Flexibility is key, as is quickly adapting to new conditions and challenges. Like a living organism we react to the ever-changing circumstances we face while doing project work in realtime.

Power of together.

Because it’s all about teamwork. We are not just another service provider where checking in feels like more of a chore. We prefer to see ourselves as your partner in crime. And just like any good relationship, collaborating with us should take place on eye-level, based o
