Who We Are
Planet Argon is a multidisciplinary team of design, development, and deployment practitioners. We help our clients implement ideas and grow their business.
Our passion for good design and solid development shows in our process, our projects and our ongoing relationships with our clients. Founded in 2002 as a one-man development house, Planet Argon has since matured into a full service web products and services consulting studio.
The team is lead by a trio of partners: Allison Beckwith, Gary Blessington, and Robby Russell—the original company founder. We are located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest city of Portland, Oregon and our studio is conveniently nestled in one of the city's geekier neighborhoods.
