About Us

Who are you and what do you do?

Use All Five is a Los Angeles-based studio started in 2006 by Levi Brooks and Jason Farrell. We’re currently a team of fifteen designers, developers, and strategists.

We help organizations and brands achieve greater impact through strategy, design, and technology.

Our work is collaborative. It explores new perspectives, flexes under pressure, and is driven by radical curiosity.

We strive to humanize technology in our work because there's so much more to it than the popular assumptions about tech (i.e. that it's sterile, cold, and alienating). We aim to make tech and culture come together to better serve your company and your clients.

Elaborate on your roles as cultural communicators.

When we work with our clients, it’s our goal to help them identify their context between small and big culture and empower how their purpose, mission, service, and product can positively and provocatively thrive.

Today it’s more important than ever that organizations understand how they fit into and thrive within the cultural context of the world at large. We help organizations do this.

Why the insistence on the “West Coast Way”?

The West Coast Way is a way of balance… not just between form and function, but also between the formal and the informal, the casual and the rigorous, the planned and the unpredictable, the hot and the cool, the global and the local, the rational/logical and the zen/meditative/poetic, the slow and the instantaneous.

Our love of the West Coast Way colors what we do every day. It’s a source of inspiration and constant energy.
