WHAT WE STAND FOR
The concept of ‘core values’ can sound overused and trite at times. But honestly — these thoughts mean a lot to us. We aim to live by them every day.
Fix the real problem.
The real problem often is not the obvious problem. Figure out what it is and solve it.
Make beautiful things.
We love to make beautiful products that people love to use. If we don’t love it, we keep working on it.
Feeling uncomfortable + choosing courage.
To deliver the best solutions, we have to try new things. Embrace the fear, walk into the dark room and turn on the light. Growth is good.
Be passionate + be yourself.
Embrace the weird part of your unique self. Yes, we’re a bit nutty. But instead of just copying others, we’re aiming to let our unique self speak. Therein lies the potential for greatness.
Do small things with great quality.
Make little things with quality, and the big thing turns out fantastic. Doing quality work brings us deep personal satisfaction.
Enjoy being alive.
Enjoy the process of living. Every minute of the day is a gift, even the challenging parts. So enjoy what’s around us and have a sense of humor.
