Mess was hired by AV&C, an experience design studio, to create software for a briefing room that involved a floor-to-ceiling curved LED wall and a tablet application. The software was required to control interactive content on the wall, displaying animated text, images, video, and real-time data from a sporting event. Mess developed two web applications using the javascript Vue framework, with advanced CSS techniques for animation and transitions. The project team from Mess included a project manager and a developer, with other PMs and developers involved behind the scenes.

Mess collaborated with Roll20, a virtual tabletop gaming website, to develop a new concept to drive site traffic. The concept was the GM hub, a site resource for players to discover, submit and upvote content to improve their games. Mess was selected for their understanding of the challenge, the industry, and Roll20's user persona. They developed a fully functional website with wireframes, designs, and content. The team from Mess included a project manager, co-founders, creative lead, illustrator, designer, and others.

0x420, a full-service NFT agency, worked with Mess to scale their business needs. Mess was responsible for designing and developing static marketing sites for 0x420's clients. The selection of Mess as a vendor was based on their reputation and the longstanding relationship with the founders. The projects were executed on tight deadlines, with design comps delivered quickly. Depending on the project, the team from Mess consisted of a project manager, multiple designers, and their technical team.
