by Miriam Suzanne on
Beautiful design mockups can be distracting, giving a false sense of what is complete and what still needs to be done. At OddBird, we find it helpful to remove any ‘premature sheen’ before sharing mockups with clients.

OddBird became an extension of our team bringing UX, frontend, and backend brilliance to take MetaDeploy from an idea into a production application.
—Jason Lantz, Sr. Director of Release Engineering at Salesforce.org
OddBird is a company I recommend without reservation. They are among the best in the world at front end, design systems, and w3c standards.
—Nicole Sullivan, Product Manager for Web UI at Google Chrome
Other developers build exactly what you say, or they don’t understand, and develop the wrong thing. OddBird always thinks about the project goals. I defer to the team expertise now, which makes a better result.
—Rohit Puranik, Founder at Lab06
Miriam is a fantastic speaker, with wonderful teaching skills, and highly praised by attendees of the conference and the workshop alike.
—Vitaly Friedman, Founder at Smashing Magazine & Conference
As core contributors to CSS, Sass, and Django, we write the books, help create the languages, and build the OSS projects millions of other developers rely on. Bringing that expertise to your custom web projects, we focus on accessibility, performance, resilient design systems, and well-tested code.
OddBird was the wise investment. We could have selected a cheaper avenue for this work – we would have paid for it manifold in the long run.
—Furman Brown, Founder at Tegy
Since OddBird thinks about handoff from the beginning, maintenance has been super easy. For example, 100% unit test coverage was a given. I never had to ask for it.
—Sara Taillon, CTO at ORCAS
I co-founded OddBird with my brothers in 2008 as a full-stack, boutique agency to provide custom web application design & development, along with refactors for integrated design systems, accessibility, performance, and long-term sustainability.
Since then OddBird has become an industry leader – from our work on Django, Sass, and Susy, to the CSS Working Group, Mozilla Developer Channel, Object Oriented UX, and in-depth conference talks on front-end architecture, workflow, component libraries, testing, and documentation.
