Our story.
In the coffee world, crema is the delicious golden layer of an espresso shot that indicates freshness, skill, & quality. George Brooks and Dan Linhart started Crema in 2009, brewing the then-new world of user experience design with a passion to build teams that do amazing work together. Nearly 10 years later, Crema is a digital product studio that’s like the golden layer of digital product development with multiple product teams made up of strategy, design, and development experts. These teams help clients validate concepts & deliver solutions to generate confidence & accelerate business impact.
