Building the future, together

We believe that great digital experiences start with great teams. At Made by ON, we bring together sharp minds across strategy, design, engineering, delivery management and operations to create work that delivers lasting impact.

We operate with a sense of relentless curiosity and a genuine love for the craft of building. Our team treats technology as a creative material with its own grain and texture, shaping it to compose systems that feel distinct and intentionally crafted.

We place a high value on craft, collaboration, and communication, giving our teams the flexibility they need to produce their best work. Whether remote or in-person, we foster an environment where ideas are shared freely, and challenges are tackled together.

Our culture is one of continuous learning and evolution. We encourage curiosity, experimentation, and new ways of thinking — because we know that variety, fresh perspectives, and meaningful challenges are key to both personal growth and professional satisfaction.

What it's like to
work at ON

“ON really values creativity. My work as a developer is fast-paced and exciting, and we work on such a range of projects that I’m always using my creativity to explore new ways of problem solving. The flat hierarchy and strong mentoring culture means everyone is supported to find their passion, and everyone is willing to help and bounce ideas.”

“The main thing for me is the people at ON. Everyone is very friendly and approachable, people dedicate time to help each other which is a really valuable thing. It helps people learn and I think it’s a massive benefit. And we find ways to bring people together a lot more which creates more sense of togetherness. Plus the work that we do here at ON is also really exciting and progressive.”

“I came to ON as a freelancer and now I’m here full-time as a senior designer. As we work with a wide range of clients, there’s lots of variety in what I create, with so many visual concepts to explore. ON is a truly flexible workplace. As a parent I really value being able to work for a London agency in my home town of Manchester, whilst still feeling part of a great, international team.”

Alan Kay: His Sketches, Piano, and Computer

Notes

A note can be a written record, a struck key, or the act of noticing, and each sharpens how we understand the world. A piano is an instrument, but also a technology built on the notes it makes possible.

Change

A red cloth spine caught my eye in a Tokyo bookshop last week. A handbook for travellers in Japan, fourth edition, 1894. I was 132 years late, yet most of what it describes still stands.

Taking the temperature

You walk into a room and you can feel it. Whether there is energy or not. We describe someone as warm. We talk about things cooling down. Temperature is something we sense before we have words for it.

Rethinking video, prototyping faster, and encoding brand logic

In Japanese, the character for hand is 手. Joined with the character for craft, it becomes 手仕事 (teshigoto), or handwork.

Transmission

The first dispatch of a new year, and I’m thinking about transmission: the message, the vessel that carries it, and what happens when they finally meet their destination.

Earthrise, or the earth rising above the moon

Closing the distance between strategy and execution

Fifty-seven years ago this week, Earthrise was captured. The image provoked a stark reflection on our place in the universe, yet the photograph itself was never part of the formal mission plan.
