Recapping a purpose-driven 2022
If we’re honest, 2022 proved that growth is not a given. It seemed life would return to normal, but instead, the year left us grappling with the pandemic’s aftermath and all the economic challenges it brings.
Even if the world hasn’t stabilized exactly how we thought it would, we know there is more than one way to grow!
More than ever, we recognize how fortunate we are to be part of a community that faces the toughest challenges head on, from educational equity to refugee crises to climate change. We are proud to partner exclusively with purpose-driven leaders who are working for a better world.
Great design is our superpower that pushes great ideas past the threshold of growth and into greater success. We are excited to share some of our clients’ stories with you, reflect on how we’ve grown, and look ahead to the future.
