Bringing the Human Element to Tech

The story of our beginning is a common one: a couple of guys have an idea for a company and start it in the basement in one of their homes. 

But when Ben Lorenz and Jason Magee started Human Element, it was because they knew they could bring something unique to the table. Not only did they want to build a tech company that was smart, agile, and did great work for its clients, they wanted to build the company around a set of core values that puts people at the center of everything it does.

20 Years Later, We're Still Here and Doing the Work.

From our humble beginnings to today with a staff across several states and countries, we have a strong foundation in our hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan. We continue to deliver digital solutions and great results with our expert mix of strategy and design, eCommerce development, digital marketing, and analytics.
