The name UMBN is a gramogram inspired by the book CDB. The book begins, “C-D-B. D-B-S-A-B-Z-B.”
Nonsense? When read silently. But try saying each letter aloud and the meaning becomes clear. By participating actively with the book, the reader and book co-create meaning.
(“See the bee. The bee is a busy bee.”)
Like the book, our work requires active participation and collaboration to cohere.
UMBN is a group of creatives who do complementary work. It is not a single business.
