OM was a product design studio founded by Rob Young in 2013. The studio collaborated with a range of major technology and consumer companies—Airbnb, Stripe, Google, Meta, Instagram, YouTube, Asana, Nextdoor, Volkswagen, Walmart, Toast, and others—designing digital products and experiences. After 11 years of operation, OM was officially shut down in 2024; the company thanked its contributors and client partners for their creative and intellectual support.
