Proud of Our Client Roster
It all started over two decades ago when we knew we could take our deep experience with leading-edge financial services technology and bring it to enterprise and small business customers who deserved a better agency experience. Applied Elements championed the “Design First” methodology and responsive web design well before our competitors. Today, we are one of the world's most established UI/UX and consulting firms, having built and maintained applications for an array of clients—from MillerKnoll and OppenheimerFunds to CrowdRx and local retail chains.
