Founded in 1993 by Dave Gray, XPLANE has evolved from an information design company into a global communications and business transformation consultancy. As part of the Dachis Group, XPLANE drives results for the world’s leading corporations through the sophisticated process of Business Design Thinking.

Business Design Thinking combines collaborative consulting, design thinking, technology, social media and visual communication. To work our magic, we draw from a range of disciplines including management consulting, information design, process improvement, journalism, social media research and interaction design. Our world-class staff is proud to serve dozens of FORTUNE 500 companies worldwide and be recognized with a variety of design and business awards.

Over the years companies big and small have hired XPLANE to motivate employees, drive sales, convince decision makers and improve processes. Still, the essence of the XPLANE approach remains the same as it was in when we started: Collaborate. Visualize. Design. This proven approach drives change in powerful ways.

Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, XPLANE also operates offices in St. Louis, Amsterdam and Madrid, facilitating 24/7 service for clients.
