# MDX

> Award-winning digital studio crafting immersive, high-end web experiences, brand identities, and operational systems for ambitious brands worldwide. 5× Awwwards Honors. Based in Trinidad and Tobago, working globally across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.

MDX is a senior, craft-led studio founded by Marcelo Cedeño, blending UI/UX design, story-driven web development, cinematic 3D and motion, strategic branding, and business automation into integrated digital products — the kind that win awards, convert visitors, and scale operations. We don't build pages; we build narratives that move users from curiosity to conversion.

## Recognition

- **5× Awwwards Honors** — recognized for digital craft, motion design, and immersive 3D web experiences.
- Selected work, case studies, and full award credits are documented on the [Projects page](https://mdx.so/projects).

## What Makes MDX Different

- **One team, every layer** — design, engineering, 3D/motion, and automation under one roof; no handoffs between five vendors.
- **Story-driven craft** — every page is built around a narrative, not just a layout.
- **Award-recognized output** — five Awwwards Honors prove that what we ship rates among the best in the world for digital craft.
- **Senior-only studio** — no junior labor; every project is touched by senior designers and engineers.
- **Built to convert** — performance, accessibility, and SEO baked in, not bolted on.
