Stories worth
sharing.

Branding and websites for non-profits and small businesses doing real work in the world.

What we do

Two things, done well.

Brand identity. Website design and build. The two things most small organizations need to look as credible online as they actually are in the world.

Why us

Design that fits how your organization actually runs.

Most studios designing for non-profits are designers learning the business side. We're the opposite — an MBA and an MSW (Brent and Kate) who came into design from operations and people-systems careers and brought those lenses with us.

For you, that means: a brand and a site that fit how your organization actually runs, not just how they look in screenshots. Systems your team can use without us in the room. And strategic judgment behind every design decision — not just stylistic preference.

About

Not designers who learned the work.
Operators who learned design.

We're an MBA and an MSW who design brand identities and websites for non-profits and small businesses. The hybrid is the point — we understand how the brand will actually be used by the people running the organization, not just how it looks in a guidelines PDF.

Brent Royer

Brent

Brand strategy, design, technical build

Brent makes sure your brand and website don't just look good — they actually work for the way you run things. Before design, he spent thirty years in tech, operations, and leadership, so he asks the practical questions first: who you're trying to reach, how you make decisions, what your team will really use. You know your work better than anyone — his job is to carry the technical side so you can stay focused on it, and to keep you in the loop the whole way.

Kate

Brand strategy, creative direction, people-systems perspective

Kate makes sure your brand feels true — to the people you serve, to your team, to who you actually are. Her background is in social work and people strategy, so she's spent her whole career noticing how people really work and what makes something feel genuine instead of generic. When a design could go twenty different directions, she's the one who finds the one that's really you.

What the hybrid gets you

Strategy and craft, in the same conversation.

Most studios designing for non-profits are designers learning the business side. We're the opposite — and that changes what you get.

You get someone who can talk about your operating model and your brand identity in the same conversation, because both shape each other. You get brand systems built to be used by the people actually running your organization, not just admired by other designers. You get strategic judgment with creative craft — not just stylistic preference.

We're a small practice on purpose. One real project at a time. No account managers, no hand-offs, no funnel.
