We are thrilled to announce that we have opened an [office in the Windy City][chicago]!
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFevDDn9Tds)
We'll do the same work we do in Boston, Denver, New York, Philly, Raleigh, Austin,
Portland, San Francisco and Stockholm: turning clients' ideas into the right
product and contributing to the local community. Now we'll be doing it face-to-face
in Chicago and the Midwest.

I joined thoughtbot this week to lead this new office after moving back to Chicago
this past fall. I've been building software professionally for over 10 years,
including leading development teams and new product launches. I founded and
co-organize [Write/Speak/Code](http://www.writespeakcode.com/) and
previously organized [GORUCO](http://goruco.com/). I'm excited to return to
my hometown and jump into the thriving tech scene here!
Get in touch if you'd like to [hire][hire] or [join][join] us in Chicago, or
even [get coffee or lunch][chicago].
We are looking forward to talking code, nerding out about design and building
great software in the Midwest. Don't tell the other offices, but we're also
excited to be in the (best) pizza, hot dog, and baseball town!
