About &why

We are &why – an interdisciplinary studio for digital products and brand experiences.

We believe the best solutions are created when people ask bold questions, take real ownership, and work with both speed and high standards.

Our goal is to build timeless, impactful digital products that don’t just look good, but truly matter. Projects like the digital platform for KKL Lucerne, large-scale products for FreeNow, immersive storytelling formats, or AI agents for B-Lab show what drives us.

Right now, we’re building our own technical platform as the foundation for all our projects – and that’s where you come in.
