OUR PRINCIPLES & values

How we show up

The way we carry ourselves each & every day

Relationship-first

We work in close partnership with our clients as a truly integrated, collaborative extension of their teams. Relationship comes first—built on trust, respect, and shared ownership. This work is for you, not for our egos, and we measure success by long-term impact beyond short-term wins.

Embrace the strange

When we embrace what's new, novel, and strange, we find originality and innovation. We value imperfection, personality, and real expression over sameness. Standing out matters more to us than fitting in.

Experimental

We treat creativity as a discipline. We test assumptions, follow the data, and use research, measurement, and experimentation to guide our decisions. We dig deeper than surface-level insights, refining our work through evidence, iteration, and learning - because design is a science and we have the rigor.

Joy is essential

We bring joy and lightness to what we do. We take the work seriously, not ourselves. Humor, play, and perspective help people feel human — and great work grows from that place.

Entrepreneurial

We move with purpose. We prioritize momentum over perfection, make smart decisions quickly, and focus on work that drives real impact. We adapt fast, remove friction, and push through obstacles—not recklessly, but decisively—because progress matters.

Craft with conviction

We do excellent work—and we’re unapologetic about that. We’re creative leaders who have honed our craft and perspective over decades of experience. We do what’s right, not what’s fastest or flashiest. We hold ourselves accountable for the quality and consistency of our work - nothing leaves our hands unless it’s work we’re proud to stand behind

Radically human

We lead with openness and honesty. We share context, tell the truth, and communicate clearly — even when it’s uncomfortable. Trust is built through transparency, and we don’t just believe it, we live and breathe it.

Leadership

Stranger Creative is proud to be LGBTQ+, Asian, & Minority-Owned business.

Our nonprofit initative: QTBIPOC Design

Community Partners

Stranger Creative’s commitment to equity extends beyond client work with our own nonprofit iniative, QTBIPOC Design, fortifying pathways for underrepresented creatives in the digital design industry.

Through fellowships, workshops, community events, Slack programming, and UX education, QTBIPOC Design creates pathways for queer and trans designers of color to build confidence, grow their careers, and shape a more representative design industry.

The work we do is never alone - you can find us regularly collaborating with community organizations and creatives transforming our work and industry. We absolutely love their mission, organization, and people behind them - and we hope you’ll be fans of them too.
