After four years in the Baker neighborhood,
Legwork Studio is moving to a new office near 9th Avenue and Broadway in the Golden Triangle.
After meeting at Denver music label
Suburban Home Records, Partners Joey Bullock, Sean Klassen and Aaron Ray went into the graphic-design business with Legwork in 2007.
"We wanted to do our own thing," says Bullock. The company bootstrapped its way from a basement to an Baker office in 2009, and additional Partners Matt FaJohn, Matt Wiggins and Andy McIntosh joined the company is 2010. That's when Legwork morphed from design studio to interactive agency.
"Our strongest suits are interactive and motion graphics," says Bullock. Early design work for
Forest City Stapleton gave the firm credibility, leading to more work.
Legwork's local work is limited, says FaJohn. "We don't really have local clients. The majority of our work is from New York, Los Angeles and Portland. We make it a point to go these cities and get face time with people."
The 13-employee company is in the process of adding a new employee and has a plant to grow "deliberately," says FaJohn. "We'll probably top out at 20 or 25 people in the next few years."
FaJohn says the company is also likes to help local startups, helping with explainer videos for
BrightNest and other growth-stage companies in Denver. "We're big champions of the community even though we don't have local clients."
