Pixel Peeps

Inspiration

We wanted to make something that makes people happy :) Something that gives the user the ability to customise their browsing experience and inspire creativity in everyday activities.

We are a team with various backgrounds in Music tech, Mechatronics, HCI and Graphics. None of us have done chrome extensions before and were inspired by other fun extensions that we have used. This was the main motivation while also giving us the opportunity to learn something new.
