Summary

Our Philosophy

Wishpipe is a small web design studio based in Minnesota. We build user interfaces that are usable, accessible and elegant in form & function.

Great applications often start with a simple idea and evolve. We help clients realize their vision by delivering wireframes, web app prototypes, complete websites and more.

Michael Christopherson / Founder

Michael Christopherson Michael is a user interface designer and front end architect with over ten years of experience building websites and web applications. He loves simple designs and elegant code.

Colophon

Wishpipe.com is progressively enhanced for browsers that support CSS3. It degrades with grace and dignity in browsers that do not support JavaScript.
