HMD is a deliberately small digital agency built on a simple idea.
The best work gets done when the customer works directly with the engineer.

Working with HMC is a delight. They have been following an agile, nimble and iterative approach long before this became fashionable. Their understanding of the veterinary digital market is unparalleled and their digital products are very solid and future proof.
Working with Chris is fun! He helped our sprint team get insights in digital tool development challenges and was sensitive to all our input but still keeping course to our expected outcome. He has an agile way of working, sees no boundaries in getting things done and has a strong feeling for additional needs to keep the project on speed... Would ask him for any new digital project I would like to start !
Chris is an excellent communicator! He always incorporates my perspective and finds ways to make the project even better.
It’s great to work with Chris and the team. They are highly professional, out-of-the-box innovative, and technically-super proficient. They are also nice people and they know what deadlines are.
HMC's deployment and operations services are first class. They recently delivered an e-learning video streaming solution that was super-fast, scaled to our volume, and was surprisingly cost effective. The production solution actually ran faster than our development machines.
