ABOUT LEAP XD

We’re a team of passionate artists, coders, and dreamers who bring brands to life through meaningful storytelling.

- You should always question actions inconsistent with our values

- Leap is not a day-care, or workplace with espresso, health benefits, sushi lunches, and nice offices. It’s a great workplace with remarkable people
- We’re a team, not a family. We’re like a pro sports team, not a kid’s recreational team
- Our team supports rapid innovation and excellent execution
- We avoid bad processes, rigidity, politics, mediocrity, and complacency that may infect our culture
