We are XPLANE.

Our mission is to create understanding.

“WOW, the visuals from XPLANE, including the phenomenal Web site, are already such a huge hit. We can’t thank XPLANE enough for continually going above and beyond.”
— Nicole Buie, Vice President of Operations, Cox Media

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 is a comprehensive business architecture that combines collaborative consulting, design thinking, technology, social media and visual communication. To work our magic, we draw from a diversity of disciplines including management consulting, information design, process improvement, journalism, social media research and interaction design. This approach drives change in powerful ways.

Over the years companies big and small have hired XPLANE to motivate employees, drive sales, convince decision makers and improve processes. Our world-class staff is proud to serve dozens of FORTUNE 500 companies worldwide, be recognized with a variety of design and business awards and earn an annual ranking on the Inc. 5,000.

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