Digital Buckeye ยท Established 2013

Technical work shaped by the environment where it will be used.

Digital Buckeye combines experience in industrial environments, software, immersive training, media production, and technical problem-solving.

Relevant experience

Multiple disciplines, connected by the problem being solved.

Industrial and safety environments

Custom web and mobile applications, digital forms, specialized workflows, reporting, permissions, equipment context, and safety operations software.

Immersive training

Virtual reality and extended-reality experiences for equipment training, inspections, social-skills learning, direct-support training, and immersive tours.

Media and interactive communication

Planning, filming, editing, motion graphics, training media, public-sector learning experiences, and interactive information.

How we approach projects

Understand the work before choosing the medium.

The right solution may be software, immersive learning, video, interactive media, or a combination. The decision begins with the audience, workflow, environment, and information the project must support.

  1. 01

    Define the need

    Clarify who the project serves, what they need to understand or do, and where the finished work will be used.

  2. 02

    Work with the people who know the subject

    Collaborate directly with client teams, safety leaders, educators, and subject-matter experts represented in the work.

  3. 03

    Select the appropriate format

    Shape the project around its requirements instead of forcing it into a standard production or software package.

  4. 04

    Review against practical use

    Keep the audience, operating environment, training purpose, and required information visible throughout development.
