Hello, 2026!
January 4, 2026Happy New Year from everyone at Tactile! Before we dive into 2026, we’re celebrating a year packed with major milestones. 2025 saw us launching new ventures, winning awards, and strengthening our team culture. Our design team celebrated a trio of accolades, taking home Good Design Awards for the ecobee Smart Thermostat Essential, ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera, and Sparx BEAM. These awards validate our continued commitment to seamless, user-centric design. See the winners. We also expanded our creative capabilities with the launch of TactileFX, a new studio dedicated to high-end visual storytelling, animation, and digital experiences. Visit TactileFX. On the industrial side, we helped launch the DCI DigiTrak ARES with its AI-powered scanning and showcased our ergonomic work on the Genie PCON scissor lift controller. Beyond the work, we reunited our Seattle, Boston, and remote teams for Tactile IRL. This unforgettable offsite reminded us that collaboration is key to our success. Read about the event. And lastly, we also continued to grow our partnerships with industry leaders like Stanley, Bose, XBOX, Meta, Keurig, and Zebra, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in physical and digital product design. We can’t wait to show you what we’re working on for 2026!
