If you are interested in working with a creative, practical, values-driven partner, we might be a fit for you. What values drive us? Good design, standards, best practices, diversity, respect and trust. We meld the artistic and the technical, through services that include web design and development, graphic design, and strategy. We do this using our own toolkit, consisting of elements as diverse as common sense, marketing savvy, a fanatical devotion to accessibility, and an obsession with standards.
We invite you to look at our portfolio—by client, or by type of work.
Our name, Found Line, can be a bit mysterious. It is, however, at the core of who we are, what we believe, and how we approach our work. The concept of "found line" is based on the artistic concept of "found object."
Early uses of found objects in art focussed on the readymades of artists such as Marcel Duchamp, who shocked the art world with his famous display of a ceramic urinal ("Fountain") in 1917. Pablo Picasso and Kurt Schwitters were among many early proponents of the use of found objects in art, which became an important feature in the work of many schools of art, including the Surrealist, Dadaist, Merz, and Conceptual art movements.

The value of found object is that new meaning is derived from the re-purposing of an existing object. We help our clients assess what they already have—in assets, resources and ideas—and help them develop the strategies, tools and materials they need to deepen their relationships with customers, communities and stakeholders. We believe in constant, iterative improvement that is based on the foundation that already exists.
