Our pragmatic blend of ethical practice, socio-political awareness and award-winning work has earned us a reputation as the emerging experts in socially responsible design. Nonprofits refer to us as the “small studio with a big heart." Our corporate clients call us “young, fresh and talented.” We don’t like name-calling but we’ll gladly take both.
Integrity and understanding shape how Firebelly lives and works: the day doesn't end at 6 and the week doesn't end on Friday. That's because our value system is interwoven with our passion for creating great design. Our dedication to clients and causes are one and the same.
At Firebelly, we share our commonalities and celebrate our differences. When it comes to design philosophy, we have a lot in common: environmental consciousness, appreciation for cultural diversity and a sense of responsibility as designers. When it comes to individual strengths, our skill sets and backgrounds are incredibly varied—and in turn, very comprehensive. Type design, photography, sculpture, collage and music are just some of the personal pursuits that inform our work—oh, and we can’t underestimate the influence of our iTunes playlists.
