Hi, from Mike
Hi! My name is Mike Burrill. I'm the new guy here at Adapted. Since coming here about a month ago I've been working on design, web development and branding projects and it's been awesome. Since we probably haven't met before (or even if we have), here's a few things about myself to help you get to know me better:
I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I once fell through the ice on a frozen lake.
Design, art, music and computers are all big deals to me. I post a lot of design work and music that I like on my Tumblr.
I'm equally obsessed with skateboarding and recently put on a skateboarding-themed poster show at Tarnish & Gold Gallery in Minneapolis.
My favorite animal is the Elk.
Thanks for reading about me. If you'd like more frequent updates about me, you can follow me on Twitter where my name is @mikeburrill.
Adapted is Hiring
Adapted is looking for a junior web developer with excellent HTML and JavaScript skills. Just as important, you should have an ability and enthusiasm to learn new languages and technologies in a relatively short time period. Examples of tools you could be required to master quickly are AS3, Xcode, HTML5, and CMS platforms like Expression Engine and Django. Current knowledge in any of these technologies is a big plus, as is a visual design background.
We are a pretty small team, so while the skills needed to navigate the byzantine maze of office politics are unnecessary, good humor and an affable nature are a must.
If you are interested, please email your resume, references, and work examples to Matthew at contact@adaptedstudio.com, along with your salary expectations.
Adapted is an interactive design studio founded in 2008 and based in New York. We work on a wide variety of projects including web design, mobile applications and interactive installations.
New Work
We launched a couple new projects recently and added them to our front page, take a look and let us know what you think.
Faile Bast Deluxx Fluxx Arcade
We just finished installing a show at Lazarides Gallery for the artists Faile & Bast. In collaboration with TSFIM, we used assets from the artists to produce approximately 40 animations and interactive vignettes running on ten arcade machines. Faile & Bast covered the arcade machines, walls and basically everything in the gallery with wheat pasted crazy graphics.
So if you're around the Soho neighborhood in London check it out, the address is 8 Greek Street.
Julia Mandle dot Com
We launched a website an experimental performance/visual artist Julia Mandle last week. We collaborated on the identity design with the great Chad Kloepfer. This site was built on the Django framework with added lines doodles in Javascript (IE support via Silverlight & ExplorerCanvas).
Thanks for Visiting
I'd just like to say thanks to all the fine people who made our studio party a raging success. It was a ton of fun, I think we'll have to do it again sometime.

Party this Friday
We're having a party at the new office we're sharing with Rumors & Chad Kloepfer this Friday July 31st. Doors open at 7pm, we'll have drinks and snacks for you.
The studio is at 177 N 10th St #A in Brooklyn, near the Bedford stop.
New Skateboard Graphics: The Website
We launched a website to accompany the New Skateboard Graphics book by our friends at MVA. I'll get into some of our process in a later post but the important thing is that the book looks great and it's for sale now. So congratulations to Namdev for putting it together.
Accuracy Fail, Budget Cuts Win
Governor of New York Elliot Spitzer? We got this back from the Secretary of State today. Although I'm happy the office saved their money by recycling letterhead, I kind of think the Secretary of State should use accurate forms.
