Brooklyn-based, independent interactive agency Domani Studios has announced the opening of a second office in Chicago's West Loop.

Greg Lanier, co-founder of Internet technology company Infoblox and former director at Sapient, was appointed general manager/vice president of the new office. Mitch Lawin, Domani Studios' executive producer of film production, and a growing staff of interactive designers and developers join Lanier.

The Chicago office will develop and manage its own roster of clients, but Jonathan Hills, co-founder and creative director at Domani Studios, envisions intense collaboration between the New York and Chicago offices as natural and beneficial.

"More and more of our work taps into our integrated interactive film capabilities, which includes the full in-house film production offerings housed in our Chicago office," he said.
