About Lion Interactive
Lion Interactive is an Oakland, California-based full-service digital agency founded in 1999, offering UX/UI design, web and app development, data science, digital strategy, and content creation. The firm grounds its design work in user research and prototyping to build products that resonate cognitively and emotionally with target audiences. With 25+ years of delivery, 4 Clutch reviews, and a DesignRush listing, engagements typically start at $25-50K at $100-149/hr.
Who Lion Interactive Is Best For
Lion Interactive is a solid choice for organizations that want a seasoned design and development partner with a rigorous user research process rather than a fast-turnaround production shop. Their 25-year track record in the Bay Area and experience with international nonprofits and lifestyle brands suggests a preference for mission-aligned or brand-forward work. Companies needing high-volume output or offshore-level pricing will find them mismatched.
