Noumenon

If there’s anyone who can’t afford to waste money, it’s non-profits.

But, many times, design is the last thing they think about.

Marketing, graphics, typography, all frills around the edges of
the serious, mission driven, important stuff.

We have made it our mission to change this perspective.

Not only is this common point of view outdated, it’s hazardous.

We believe Good Work Deserves Great Design.

But you can’t get there with pretty colors and flashy graphics alone.

Every bit of communication outside and inside an organization, should be:

  1. In service to the mission
  2. Well balanced with the values
  3. Harmonious in look and voice

It’s not the flash and the bang, it’s the gunpowder.

We work with representatives INSIDE your organization to get input from all corners, to ferret out your strengths, to find the reason why people love your organization.  We build consensus to draw a portrait of who you are, making the best of organizational intelligence and unifying different perspectives into a clear portrait.

This is what we call your Noumenon.

The Noumenon is the Thing In Itself.  The je ne sais quoi.  The ghost in the machine.

We work collaboratively to develop a roadmap for how your mission, your voice, your logo, your color choice can all work together to express who you are and where you are going…  consistently.

And then… we’ll design for you.  Or someone else can.
But you’ll be more efficient in describing who you are to grant making foundations, potential donors, volunteers, program recipients, or even potential non-profit partners to maximize community impact.

At the end of the day you want stakeholders to know the best version of your organization, and for your staff to work toward making every experience live up to that ideal.
