OUR PROMISE
OUR IMPACT
It is our mission to leave minimal waste for future generations and preserve the precious and limited resources that the Earth can provide. We are committed to practicing a low-waste lifestyle both as individuals and as a studio. This means using less plastic, recycling and composting, buying second-hand, upcycling (a favorite of ours), and sourcing locally, organic, and regenerative.
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
Design is a tool that can speak a million different words and a thousand different languages. We pride ourselves on designing with inclusion in mind, so no matter your sex, race, religion, color of your skin, or ability, we are your ally and will represent and support you.
REPRESENTATION
We always design using “Green Graphic Design Principles” (a.k.a. cradle to cradle, circular economy) to minimize pollution, climate change, and excess waste. This in turn saves our clients money but, more importantly, ensures there is a future for our planet.
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Each year we try to lessen our footprint on the world a little bit more. We are proud to say our studio’s energy is sourced from renewables — meaning that our business and the technologies that keep us running are environmentally-friendly. In 2021, we pledge to offset our digital carbon footprint entirely.
OFFSETTING OUR Co2
Each year we donate a percentage of our time to helping brands in need develop their own visual identities. Over the years we have given to a variety of businesses from non-profits, to female-owned and sustainable brands. Check out our Giving section below for more information.
GIVING BACK
It is our responsibility to protect our planet and secure its future. While we practice many sustainable philosophies, each year we pledge to donate 1% of our sales to environment-focused nonprofit organizations and charities — whether or not we are profitable!
