We've all been there - you've got a great idea for a client and you want to quickly get it down on paper. But what's this? Your sharpie is dull. What client will respect you and your incredible ideas with a dull sharpie?

Introducing Sharpiener

Don't send a client a dull sketch again: instead, send your dull sharpies to ZURB through out new mail-order service, and we'll send back pristine, sharpened sharpies that you can really impress with.

How do we do it?

At ZURB we're as committed to helping people design as we are to insuring we still have a world to design for, that's why Sharpiener is not only fast but completely green.

While other services might use smoke-belching, electricity-consuming machines to sharpen your sharpies we use completely carbon-neutral interns, with x-acto knives. And don't worry - we also believe in sustainable farming and food consumption, which is why our interns get one organic egg a day.

Once your sharpies have reached our exacting standards of sharposity and awesomeness we mail them back to you; it's that simple.

Well, how do I sign up?

We'll be starting with a select group of dull-sharpie'd designers this week, so head on over to the Sharpiener signup page and get into the private release. Don't worry: as demand increases, we'll simply hire more interns. They're everywhere.
