Upstatement officially opened its doors in 2008, but it was really born during late nights at The Daily Orange, the independent student newspaper at Syracuse University. That's where Mike, Tito, and Jared met before graduating to the newsrooms of The New York Times and Boston Globe. Working in the media taught us how to tell stories, organize information, and work on tight deadlines — experiences that perfectly prepared us for the coming online revolution.

Now we apply our skills as editorial designers to a variety of websites and applications, with a particular affinity, of course, for news outlets.
