Artifact Uprising creates beautiful user-customized photo gifts out of its studio in Denver, Colorado. Artifact focuses on taking offline experiences and using online technology to enable their transformation into permanent stories.
In 2013, the Denver, Colorado based Artifact Uprising was a new entrant into the photo goods market. They attracted an audience of creatives who very vocal in their support and enthusiasm of the brand and products.
To meet the growing demand for new features and products from their user base, Artifact partnered with FarShore to explore ways to extend their team’s capacity.
FarShore supported the design and development of Artifact’s native iOS application which enabled users to build photo products directly from their phones. We then supported a relaunch of their web solution on the Magento eCommerce platform. This provided AU the flexibility to have full administrative control of the e-commerce experience.
Artifact continues to inspire the creative community with their beautiful photo products and knack of storytelling. They have users globally and have grown their Instagram base to nearly 200,000 followers. Media outlets such as Uncrate, Travel & Leisure, and Better Homes & Garden have featured Artifact. Their success was rewarded through an acquisition by Oakland, California based Visual Supply Co. in early 2015.
