This is a time to step back and look at what we are creating and the paths we have chosen.  We need to ask tough questions and have the courage to pursue our beliefs.  Imagination and creativity are key components for creating positive change—in the way we work together, in the outcomes we design, and the problems we solve.  Our ideas are not constrained by industry definitions and bias.

We are committed to this new direction and look forward to working with companies, individuals, and communities that share this vision.

We believe in doing work that matters.


We specialize in specific practice areas.
Each practice area is a clearly defined starting point for doing work that matters to both our clients and ourselves. We believe that we, and our clients, are best served by deepening and focusing our appeal to specific targets rather than generalizing the appeal in an attempt to broaden the market.

We think beyond a set of ‘deliverables.’
As clients get to know us, they involve us in aspects of their business they could not have anticipated if given a finite list of capabilities. By looking at our case studies, you’ll get an understanding of our strengths. So, yes, our work in each practice area comes with deliverables specific to solving the problem at hand. But, the list is not limited to the specific strategic and creative tasks you usually find in the industry. One of our most important tenets is that we are a firm that delivers what we promise.

The benefits of being independent.
From the staff perspective: How many professional services firms do better work and become a better place to work after they sell to large conglomerates? Enough said.

From the client perspective: See above. Plus, our motivation is our client’s success and our own success. Missing from that are the demands of a faraway holding company that defines success by a single, monetary metric.
