Our work is grounded in the following five principles.

• Conscience -- Our work must be life-affirming, ethical and culturally authentic.
• Collaboration -- We work with you, not for you.
• Creativity -- We are elicitive and inventive, not prescriptive.
• Commitment -- We intend to make a meaningful contribution and difference, not a reputation.
• Community -- We donate 10% of what we earn to non-profits and social entrepreneurs in the areas where we work.
