Our Culture
“Where there’s a we, there’s a way.”
Who are we?
We are skilled artisans.
We are a dynamic, innovative, and creative collective united in our mission to improve lives, strengthen communities, and make the world a better place.
We are problem-solvers.
We love to tackle big, complex problems together. We question convention, consider diverse perspectives, and geek out on research until we find a solution.
We are changemakers.
Our goal is to change lives for the better, and we are honored to pursue that goal in partnership with an extensive network of inspired partners, clients, stakeholders, subject-matter experts, and community-based organizations.
We are values-driven.
We believe our work should honor our core values:
- Seek First to Understand
- Practice We Over Me
- Operate With Integrity
- Rise to the Challenge
- Make Things Better
This means promoting collaboration, encouraging employee engagement, and nurturing personal growth. As a certified B Corporation, we attract employees who want to do meaningful work, contribute to positive social change, challenge and be challenged, and have fun along the way. To help guarantee those outcomes, we have established a Purpose Committee, which oversees our social and environmental impact; a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Committee, which fosters a culture of belonging; and a Fun Committee, which hosts events that allow us all to take a well-deserved break and engage with one another outside of work.
We are headquartered in San Diego.
We live and work in one of the most desirable communities in the United States. Our newly renovated office has an open floor plan that encourages conversation and collaboration. A floor-to-ceiling window wall opens onto a spacious outdoor patio, allowing employees to work or meet inside or outside and to follow their creativity wherever it leads them. We have made a commitment to employee health and well-being with a fitness center and a wellness room and by stocking the office with healthy snacks and beverages, including cold brew and kombucha on tap. We’re also dog lovers. You can always find one or two of our best friends padding around the office.
