Meet the team
Our interdisciplinary team uses the power of design and strategy to help nonprofits communicate ideas, spark emotions, and effect change.
We’re a small, tight-knit team of strategists, designers, and project managers who enjoy a good slice of pie, picnics in the park, and teaching each other how to cook our favorite meals.
We value belonging, integrity, balance, openness, and wonder—and we bring it all into our work to build meaningful, long-lasting relationships with clients and with each other.
