Year Founded
2008
In 2008, our founders had a realization: everything around us is ugly. We need to make it look better. With that ambitious mission in mind, Paper Tiger was born. less than a year after the release of the iPhone (yes, that long ago), when responsive design took the world by storm. 

So we knew immediately (and adjusted accordingly) that there was a tech tsunami on the horizon and that early adoption was our only way forward. For the last 16 years, we've been among the first to master new technologies—Figma, Webflow, and now AI, to name a few—long before they became the talk of the town. 

With a commitment to constant evolution and process improvement, we have lent our refined expertise to major projects for some of the world's most prominent brands; from overhauling complex custom CMS systems for well-known publishers to partnering with ground-breaking startups at naming and inception, all the way to rebranding after acquisition.
