FABRIC PORTLAND / THE WORKSHOP
Things we made without being asked.
Some projects begin with a brief. Others begin with a question, a sketch, a stubborn idea, or a good excuse to try something new. Welcome to the other side of our practice.
FABRIC / SELF-INITIATED WORK
Small tools.
Big curiosity.
Good ideas don't always arrive with a client brief. We make software, games and experiments of our own—and occasionally something escapes the workshop and becomes a product.

FROM PUZZLES TO PROTOTYPES
Making things is how we think.
Sometimes the work ends up as software people use every day. Sometimes it becomes a playable experiment. Sometimes it just teaches us something useful for the next project.
Our daily word game Decoder is one of those ideas that turned into a real, playable product. The Fabric Lab is where you'll find more experiments, prototypes and the notes behind them.
