Our Approach

We use the following five principles to guide our decisions and shape our relationships with clients.

DESIGN WITH CONSCIENCE

12thirteen has deliberately focused on the design needs of the public and not-for-profit sectors. We thrive on helping good organizations make good things happen.

DESIGN WITH CLARITY

We ask all the right questions to develop a clear brief and start each project with shared vision, expectations, goals and budget. We keep you informed and comfortable at every step.

DESIGN WITH PRESENCE

It’s that certain something, that special way everything comes together unexpectedly and organically. That’s the magic of good design and 12thirteen has spent two decades cultivating and refining it through a deliberate and collaborative process.

DESIGN WITH APPROVAL

As not-for-profit specialists, we understand there are many invested parties for your project and we see each level of approval as a focus group to ensure their needs are met. We’re fortunate to have worked with every level of invested party, from Board members to staff to program clients. That experience helps us ensure a smooth design process for your projects.

DESIGN WITHOUT EGO

The audience should recognize your organization or initiative, not the 12thirteen style. We balance creative presence with consistent visual standards. By welcoming your feedback and constantly evaluating our work, we’re able to build on strengths and address opportunities for improvement.
