01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Tagg was a social branding app for Gen Z creators built by recent Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design graduates. It combined a customizable link-in-bio profile page (links, music, events, content) with a social layer, deliberately dropping like counts so young creatives could focus on authentic self-expression and collaboration.
