DIY design isn’t enough.
In a world increasingly authored by AI, sounding and looking human is imperative. To truly stand out, your brand needs more than the same drag-and-drop templates everyone else is using.
You need a human element to infuse strategic thinking + soul. We bridge the gap between your mission, values, and personality – and the community that can advance your work.
Read on to learn how we can help!
Your Brand Foundation
The Deep Dive
We kick off with a mix of strategy and insight to get clear on your organization’s personality and brainstorm ways to spotlight your strengths across your nonprofit’s online presence. We dig deep into the messages that resonate with your community.
Together, we’ll identify the right strategies and a clear game plan to inspire action—whether that means engaging donors, attracting corporate partners, or equipping your board to be more effective ambassadors of your mission.
Through this process, we create:
Brand Lab Analysis - We'll guide you through our diagnostic brand scorecard—a powerful tool to clarify your focus, spotlight your strengths, and uncover actionable opportunities to better demonstrate the need for your work and your impact.
Craft Core Messaging Framework - We will help you identify key messages and opportunities for impactful storytelling. We will get clear on your mission + work, voice + tone, and your organization's core soul.
Chart Brand Playbook – Think of this as your nonprofit’s DNA sequence—we’ll guide you in leveraging your existing brand for greater visibility and impact.

Impact Storytelling
Design for Humans
In this phase, we lean into the human stories of your work to help craft your visual narrative with a compelling impact report and individual donor-giving campaign. We built them to be used as powerful tools to educate, build trust, and compel your audience to partner with your organization to drive structural change.
Here, we also help you go IRL—because no digital interaction can replace the alchemy of energy, connection, and trust sparked in real-world experiences. Thoughtful, well-designed events and activations don’t just bring people together; they create moments that inspire action, deepen engagement, and create lifelong advocates.
In this stage, we will craft:
Annual Impact Report – We will design a data-driven, visually engaging annual impact report that tells your story and can be employed as a compelling narrative throughout the year and beyond.
Event Brand & Collateral – We build an event brand and suite of design assets that will boost registration and attract aligned corporate sponsors.
Donor Giving Campaign – People give to people - not just causes. We will craft a year-end giving campaign message and visual theme that bridges the gap between the urgency of your mission and the impact of your work to boost donations.
02
Activate Your Community with Social + Email
Scale with Purpose
Now that we are clear on strategy, storytelling, and soul, it’s time to catalyze and scale your brand assets. We take the foundation we’ve built and transform it into a cohesive, story-driven, suite of assets that seamlessly connect across your digital community.
We value the trust you place in ensuring every dollar serves your vision. That’s why we create assets designed for efficiency, impact, and ease of use. From social posts to email templates, we equip you with easy-to-implement tools and assets, so you can focus on what matters most: driving real change.
At this step, we build:
Your Visual Ecosystem – We create a suite of assets and ready-to-use templates for email and social campaigns. We take the guesswork out of the design process to ensure your team can implement with purpose, clarity, and consistency.
Inbox Magic - Let’s craft some emails your audience actually wants to open. We equip you with custom plug-and-play templates ready to engage donors, rally supporters, and drive action—without hassle.

Implementation & Strategy
The Roadmap
You now have the strategy, the stories, the tools. (Yeah!) Now, let’s put them to work. But we know that even the best tools need a little support. As you start implementing, we’re here as your design mentor—offering feedback, guidance, and resources to help you tell the stories that will grow your community and power your mission.
Finally, we equip you with:
In-Depth Training – We provide you with a walkthrough of how to implement your assets, plus tutorial videos + a library of “how to” resources. We also provide guidelines for maintaining brand consistency over time and train your team to employ brand assets powerfully.
Mentorship – For the month after delivery, we’re here to review your designs, provide feedback, and offer strategic pointers to ensure your brand shines across all platforms.
