helloinstrument: We get to craft a lot of nice UX here at Instrument, but it’s difficult to show, since a lot of it is touchscreen, iPad, or interactive kiosk work out in the real world. So we made this reel to feature some of our favorite UX projects from the past few years. Featured clients: Google, Umpqua Bank, Nike, XBOX and more. -ZB Oh hi there Instrument. That is some damn fine UX.
