Pelago: What’s in a Name?

Pelago is derived from the word Archipelago. To us, Pelago is the abyss of creativity swirling around and between us — eddies of ideas and currents of collaboration — that draws together the solidarity and mass of an Archipelago. Pelago is the invisible and forceful synergy that mold our creative thoughts into tangible user experiences.
