“Design is about the results, and should not be an end in itself. Design that looks great but doesn’t achieve the desired communications and business goals is not good design. Design is meant to help us understand what is going on, both on a conscious and subconscious level. And if it makes our world better looking while at it, hey, then it’s great design. For me good design is what ties everything together and makes it all come alive. But ultimately it’s just one part of the larger business picture. More

Carolyn Grimsic, Senior Consultant and Writer

“Although I’m in the business of crafting ideas and words, I’m also into the numbers—the results. At the end of a campaign, I’m always asking, ‘How many people contributed to the 401(k)? Picked the right health plan? Participated in wellness screenings?’ That’s how I know I’ve done my job.” More

“Much like foreign countries, benefits programs have their own vocabulary. Employees only have time to take short trips to benefits-land. Instead of making them learn a new language, I think good communication can translate it.” More

Leslie Orellana

Leslie Orellana, Senior Consultant

“I get excited when we make all the “stuff” employees really care about easy for them. Employees can focus on what they need to do to drive the business forward—instead of worrying about how to fill out a form. And they appreciate even more what their company is doing for them.” More

Jennifer Weland

Jennifer Weland, Senior Consultant

Pedro Morales

Pedro Morales, Senior Writer

“I love making a difference through the written word. With anything I write, I put myself in the shoes of my readers, asking “why is this important?” and “who cares?” Because I know that if just one person can learn something new through what I’ve written, I’ve done my job well. More

Gwen Perry

Gwen Perry, Marketing Coordinator
