Digital experience agency focused on design systems and enterprise transformation
One North is a design-led digital agency (51–200 people, Chicago-based) operating under TEKsystems. The stack is heavily weighted toward design tools (Figma, Zeroheight, Tokens Studio, Adobe) and content platforms (Sitecore, WordPress), with operational infrastructure via Microsoft 365 and PeopleSoft — a shape consistent with a services firm managing design workflows and client projects at scale. Hiring is accelerating across design and marketing roles, while internal pain points center on margin management, time capture, and design-system implementation — suggesting they're scaling delivery rigor to support enterprise clients.
