small software
Lynx, Squidly, Piper + Snipe
Focused web tools for short links, public link pages, creative operations and reusable embeds. Each can stand alone; all four can live under one Fabric account.

one name.
a few different kinds
of useful.
Fabric is a collection of software, infrastructure, services, client work and experiments made in Portland, Maine. Some parts solve one tiny problem. Some require a long relationship. Some are here because we wanted to find out what would happen.
the ecosystem
different doors for different kinds of work.
Fabric is deliberately not one giant app or one giant agency site. Each part gets a home that makes sense for the person arriving there, while the account and wider identity connect the pieces underneath.
ongoing services
Digital Manager + Part-Time CMO
Recurring relationships for organizations that need a person to own part of the digital or marketing workload—not another dashboard to remember.

the pieces are different.
the instincts are not.
Make the interface smaller.
Most software does not need to become a universe. A useful tool can stay focused.
Keep people in the loop.
Some problems are operational or strategic rather than technical. That is why services and agency work sit beside the software.
Show the work.
The lab exists so experiments, questions and lessons do not disappear behind finished product pages.
where to start
you do not need to understand the whole map.
If you need a small tool, start with the tool. If you need a person, start with services or the agency. If you want to see what we are experimenting with, start at fbc.ad. The ecosystem should make the next step clearer—not demand that you learn our org chart.
