Motion & Graphic Designer
Our Values
We Refuse To Settle For Mediocrity. No matter what it is we are doing, we strive for nothing less than excellence. This excellence not only applies to everything we create; but in our interactions with others, with the world, and in what we do outside of our work. We communicate clearly and honor the time of others.
We Are Lifestyle Focused. We like to say that "Lifestyle Focused" is one step farther than "story focused." "Story" has almost become a cliché in today's media landscape. Every form of media has a story, but a lifestyle is more about the actual real people living that story every day; that is our focus.
We Always Love People First. This is not complicated, and we don't try to make it complicated. The core behind everything else that we do is that people are always number one. Nothing we will ever do will come before people. Every brand, client, team member, or anyone else we work with, will always come before any product, service, or paycheck.
We Are Willing To Challenge. Challenging is more than any one particular thing; it is about growing as humans. We want to challenge our skills, storytelling, and worldviews, and not just add to the noise of the media landscape.
