We create online places for communities.

Our focus on contextualizing space online is oriented around the notion of 'community.'  We design, develop and strategize for the conversion of 'space' to 'place;' where people become personally engaged with interfaces and each other through them.

In the world's largest social space, it is important to be able to articulate using a variety of media with an understanding of cutting edge technologies, tools and platforms.  The Design Guru approach entails a commitment to leveraging the flexible scalability of Open Source Software (like OpenX, Drupal, Wordpress and Joomla) using seamless practices for social network integration and streaming media.

A high value for aesthetics and user interface has lead us to work with a variety of clients, including the California Institute of the Arts – a visual and performing arts school founded by Walt Disney in the 1960s. We believe that the web's potential to allow effective and engaging multi-lateral communication between off-line and on-line communities has led us to working with some amazing clients and fed our creativity and value for innovation through highly interesting projects.

Additional to partner and client work, we are constantly incubating ideas of our own that improve web experiences; be they from the side of producer, consumer, conversationalist or observer.  As well, we attempt to relate a larger impression of the evolving media industry through our 'designguru tv'  video interview series and events.
