NONPROFIT & PUBLIC SECTOR
Design that works for everyone who has to use it
Your audience spans every age, ability, and language. Your stakeholders run from boards to government entities. Funding arrives as grants with rules attached. We design for all three at once.
Proudly MWBE-certified and committed to inclusive, human-centered design.
HOW WE HELP
Challenges
Everyone is your audience
Every age, ability, language, and device, plus the funders watching how it lands. The design has to work for all of them at once.
Sign-offs that stall the work
Boards, partner organizations, and government entities all have a say. Progress depends on giving everyone access to the materials and keeping them aligned the whole way through, not just at review.
Every dollar is accounted for
Funding arrives through grants with spending rules and reporting attached. The work has to make the most of each dollar and land where the grant says it should.
Built for accessibility, clarity, and longevity.
Accessibility: Designed and tested for real users, not checklists.
Governance-minded: systems that make publishing easier and more consistent.
Radically human: clear communication, honest timelines, no surprises
HOW WE SOLVE IT
Accessible by default, documented for the next team
We design to WCAG and Section 508 from the first file, not as a remediation pass at the end. Then we hand over templates and training so the work keeps running after the engagement closes and after the people who commissioned it move on.
Web design & accessibility (508/WCAG)
Audits, remediation, and new builds tested with real users.
Design systems & brand kits
Templates that let a small team publish like a large one.
Content strategy & information architecture
Service journeys structured so people find what they came for and finish the task.
Multilingual & translation workflows
Systems built to hold up across languages, not bolted on afterward.
Digital transformation & strategy
Governance that survives approvals, turnover, and the next administration.
