When a client brings us in to build their next big app, one of the first questions we ask them is What will define success for you? That’s because we’re laser-focused on that one core goal. The details may change along the way. That’s OK. We’re not building toward details.

How we started

Fynydd was founded in 2010 by engineers with decades of user interface design and software development experience. Owning separate companies, they decided to come together to form a new, single entity where they could combine their expertise to make something even better.

Today, Fynydd has a passionate, talented team of project managers, designers, developers, and strategists, working on a wide range of projects for all kinds of clients. Basically, we bring ideas to life on a daily basis.

The word “fynydd” is Welsh for mountain.

* The Welsh pronounce it [‘vänith], but here we say [‘finid]

Our core values

Our roles may vary from operations to design to software engineering. But we all believe in a people-first culture based on embracing change, open and honest communication, and a passion for what we do. We feel so strongly about our culture that we've codified it into these ten Fynydd core values.
