We build applications people love to use.

We Believe...

We've done our best work when you don't notice it, when the task takes center stage and the vehicle for accomplishing it does not. We believe:

  • Corporate environments deserve world-class user experiences, too.
  • Applications should not get in the way of what needs to be done.
  • Work merits interfaces as beautiful and intuitive as those we use for fun.

Who We Are

DePalma Studios is a nimble shop that serves enterprise clients by reimagining their internal applications. We specialize in user interfaces and understand people and the technology they use. Strong IT roots, deep experience in UI/UX design and obsessive attention to detail distinguish
our diverse and skilled team.

We're also wicked bubble hockey players. But passion about user experience drew us together, and passion to solve our clients' complex business problems puts us in high gear. Passion for bubble hockey keeps our small, spirited team united and clears mental space for creative breakthroughs.
We're an edgy bunch.

What We Do

We design and build elegant, functional applications. Our advanced front-end solutions, tailored to company culture, integrate with company systems. They are easy to maintain and work right the first time.

No matter what device or platform, we build what we design and have fun doing it. Whatever the technology, our task-focused applications increase efficiency, decrease complexity and give our clients a competitive advantage.

Delivery rate goes up; frustration goes down. A reimagined universal search solution for your corporate directory for example, saves incremental dollars – seconds at a time – when it gets 50,000 internal hits each day and delivers superior search results. The bigger the organization the greater the impact but our process is adaptable to enterprises of all size.

How We Work

Solving your headache becomes our mission, and we love a good challenge. Bring it! You become team members. At any point in the process you know exactly what is going on. Along the way, your input is more than encouraged – it is fundamental to how we do business. Each project is different but our process remains consistent because it delivers tailored solutions that prioritize the user's point of view – at long last.

Discover

We take time to understand what you have and what you need. Clients often aren't sure what they want, only that what they have isn't working. Together, we begin.

As we talk with you and learn about your challenges, we think with pencil and paper in hand. We ask more questions, draw, think some more and draw again. Ideas flow.

Design

Our designers understand user experience and development, our developers understand technology and design. This depth drives an iterative process that is collaborative, agile and powerful.

We work through your needs to design, develop, implement and deliver not only a custom product but a custom experience. We expect change along the way. We embrace change because each change gets us closer to what you need.

The result, so intensely focused on user experience, is the closest thing to art.

Deliver

What you get is a custom app designed and developed for your enterprise that does what you want when you want. Always the goal is to increase business productivity by building applications people love to use. Our job is not done until users are engaged and you are amazed.

Contact

DePalma Studios is located in Downtown Nashville, in the historic Stahlman Building on Union Street. The Stahlman was, at 12 stories tall, considered among the city's first "skyscrapers" and houses Nashville's first modern elevator.

We invite you to visit, email or even call. We're all for modern but don't believe phones, like pencils, should ever go out of style.
