Globally-networked localism

• Design services will relocalize like farmers markets.

• Communities will commission work face-to-face. “I’ll come to your space”, not “jump on a Zoom”.

• Taste will be curated by the culture embedded in the city we work in.

• Our work isn’t slop on socials—design work should happen where people live and meet.

• We’re building the aesthetic layer of a specific place with specific people. We visit your space. We listen to your environment. We're there for installations, launches, first plays. We show up at openings.

You can't design atmosphere from a distance.

We'll be there.

• Just as local food rebuilds supply chain resilience, local design practice rebuilds social-creative infrastructure at human scale.

Working style

• Project-based, collaborative, time-bounded, with clear deliverables and high standards.

• We want to work with people, not for an algorithm.

• We want stakes - something that actually solves a problem.

• If you just need someone to execute what you’ve already decided, we’re not the right fit.

• If you want cheap and fast, stock libraries exist for that. If you’re curious what sound can actually accomplish, let’s talk.

• Fewer clients, deeper relationships, better work.

• We'll either be leading capable people or contributing at a level where our expertise actually matters.

• Sound is psychological before it’s aesthetic. Frequencies that make you anxious or calm. Rhythms that energize or soothe. Audio bypasses thought and reaches the limbic system directly.
‍
• We use specific techniques to make people feel something. This is real power, and we take it seriously.
