Curated list of Creative Technology groups, companies, studios, collectives, etc.
Awesome Creative Technology
Businesses, groups, agencies, schools, festivals, and conferences that specialize in combining computing, design, art, and user experience.
Creative technology is a broadly interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field combining computing, design, art, and user experience.
This list hopes to compile the best creative technology groups & resources across the world, both as a source of inspiration and as a reference point for potential employers and meetups of creative technologists.
Creative technologists by definition have a breadth of skills as opposed to a specific specialty, so it's difficult to categorize them. While this isn't a perfect organization, each group below generally specializes in the area to which they've been assigned.
