Story **[Codrops](https://daily.dev/sources/codrops)** · 12 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary OFF+BRAND., a 30-person design and development studio from Glasgow, shares the story of scaling from a two-founder shop in 2020 to delivering flagship interactive web experiences for Microsoft, Lando Norris, Trevor Noah, Steven, and its own internal projects like Manifesto and Aether1.
