In 1989, years before the web existed as a commercial entity, our company had its professional beginnings doing brochure design in a dank basement. By 1990 the company had produced its very first interactive educational products. These products (originally created in Hypercard, and now available in Flash format for the first time) innovatively combined semi-cogent literary analysis with slapstick comedy, for an educational experience that was both entertaining and engaging.

In 1996, trendy.com was born as a full-fledged interactive design and programming shop. The company went public in 1999 and quickly grew into a multinational conglomerate; a huge influx of venture capital allowed us to focus on our core competencies of spending money while simultaneously avoiding our core incompetencies of creating product.

In 2000, the dot-com bubble burst; a precipitous stock price drop, several rounds of layoffs, CEO indictments, and burning bags of dog poo left outside our door by our stockholders were enough to convince us to return to our core focus of creating educational software.

Today, our software can be found on the web, on educational CD-ROMs, and in museums and exhibit halls across the country.
