Dogmo Studios // about
Dogmo Studios is a collaborative design studio that uses our powers for good. As a studio, our structure is collaborative and intentionally lean, agile and iterative.
We believe that good design is more than skin deep, and we pride ourselves in thinking through the project arc and finding the best solutions for our partners. We have a deep understanding of design and technology and a constant curiosity that drives us to stay current with best-practices and evolving strategies.
We love and believe in what we do, and we love working with people who are similarly passionate about what they do.
Eliza Wee // Design Lead, Founder
With over 25 years experience in design that runs the gamut--web, mobile, and print--Eliza combines a thorough understanding of technology, production, and business issues to develop comprehensive strategies that work with the client's mission, strategic goals, and budget. She brings to the team a broad combination of visual design skills, a thorough understanding of UX and front-end design, and keen Project management skills.
She is honored to have worked with some of the world's most incredible and inspiring clients, including the Astraea Foundation, Amnesty International, the ACLU, the California State Labor Commissioner's Office, and Code for America.
Eliza received her Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from Amherst College, where she established a strong foundation in painting, printmaking, and illustration. Her creative practice uses landscape to explore the interactions between community, time, and memory. At her Tol (돌) ceremony, she grabbed a pen and has spent the rest of her life living up to it.
Robert Dawson // Developer, Dev Ops Lead
Robert Dawson loves front-end technologies and his passion is to create a better Web for everyone. From designing interfaces to creating performant code, he loves that a single programming language, JavaScript, has taken over the Web, allowing developers to write code that seamlessly interoperates.
His career started wearing a variety of hats within a small team at a fledgling startup. Today, he focuses most of his time planning, writing, and refactoring quality code.
He received his Masters of Arts in Multimedia through the California State University-East Bay, where used the Python-based Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), PHP, and MySQL to create a Web-based AI agent. Thanks to his highly flexible mind, we're able to provide inventive solutions for our clients' most complex problems.
Kolokai // #PointyWonder
Kolokai is an East Oakland native. She's quick to judge, but even quicker to forgive. Her interests include Mr. Scribbles, squirrels, and whatever animals poke around in her yard at night. She's fond of a crunchy bowl of kibble, fresh water, and a nice scotch (tho she'll settle for a microbrew in a pinch).
