Our Work

We often start working with organizations on a specific project, like a brand refresh, strategic plan, or a website redesign, and end up partnering on so much more. We also provide ongoing strategy and implementation support for organizations with limited communications capacity.

Check out these examples of our work and get in touch to learn more.

 
 

CAST

Over a decade, the Community Arts Stabilization Trust had developed new financial and real estate models that enabled artists and arts organizations to stay anchored in the Bay Area. These models were being replicated in cities around the world. CAST needed a bold, arts-driven brand that conveyed its deep expertise, captured why arts are essential to vibrant communities, and authentically reflected its commitment to community engagement.

CivicMakers

Over 5 years, CivicMakers had grown from a meetup among civic-minded technologists to a full-fledged consulting team focused on designing human-centered solutions in partnership with local governments. We helped them embrace their community roots and revamp their brand strategy and identity to showcase their unique approach to civic innovation.

COMPASS

After 20 years as a leader in science communication training, COMPASS was at a strategic inflection point. We helped them build a brand strategy, identity, and website that would translate their new direction and reenergize their community toward climate and biodiversity solutions.

“Rachel played an instrumental role as a thought partner and provided much-needed additional capacity when one of our staff members went on leave. Rachel helped us create a new landing page, finish our end-of-year communications, and develop new components for visual storytelling on our website. I highly recommend working with Rachel and look forward to partnering with her again.”
