who we are

A web 3 digital
design agency

With an impeccable reputation, Ultra Rare have been highly innovative in the NFT space, utilising new minting systems, levelling up collector rewards and creating a first of its kind NFT comic viewer, as well as bringing iconic horror franchise, Texas Chainsaw Massacre to the blockchain.

Ultra Rare have seen phenomenal growth, growing from 2 unemployed guys in the north east of england, locked inside during COVID, to a team of 15, with multiple sell-out drops, achieving around $3m in primary and secondary sales revenue in year one, with a dedicated and passionate fanbase. 

Having had an interest in crypto for many years, founder Richie has always believed in the idea of NFTs. Co-founder John, with a background in graphic design and screenwriting, having written extensively for film and TV, is a collector who just loves to be creative.

When Richie first told John about digital collectibles, many years ago, John thought Richie was crazy. Digital collectibles didn’t make sense. You want to feel the thing, touch it, hold it. But Richie was certain this was the future. And when John - a massive garbage pail kids fan - saw the first GPK series released on the wax blockchain, he had to have a set. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the pair started wondering whether they could make their own collectible series…

As a company, we have a simple mission: create high quality utility-packed digital collectibles that surprise, delight and excite. We firmly believe in the power of Web 3.0 and we will harness it for you, your business, project or brand.
