Values
Design is a human interaction.
We design for people. Effective design considers the content and the context of the situation and its footprint on the human condition.
Function, then form.
A beautiful gun is still a gun. We fear the effect of our work more than we love the cleverness of our ideas.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Design is a collaboration. You bring your expertise, we bring ours. We work together to create something memorable.
Ears wide open.
Listening is a design skill. Multiple points of view create better stories and build more inclusive communities.
