About

Founded in 2009, Hub­bub con­sists of a geo­graph­i­cally dis­trib­uted team of peo­ple with back­grounds in design, tech­nol­ogy and games. Our pri­mary inter­est is to invent new games and forms of play that facil­i­tate social change.

Hub­bub part­ners over­see the day-to-day oper­a­tion of the stu­dio and bring in asso­ciates on a per-project basis. This allows us to employ a wide range of skills and exper­tise on what­ever chal­lenge we may be pre­sented with. We think this way of work­ing is the future of the design studio.

Our ser­vices include research, con­cep­tu­al­iza­tion, design and devel­op­ment. We pre­fer to be involved in early stages of projects, work­ing together with clients to develop briefs and con­cepts in work­shops. We explore design direc­tions through the devel­op­ment and play test­ing of pro­to­types. Our process is hands-on and highly collaborative.

We divide our time between client work and self-commissioned projects. We think as much as we make, and share our find­ings in talks and writ­ings on our blog and elsewhere.
