We believe. We design. We contribute.
Our team of creatives produces meaningful experiences grounded in multidisciplinary solutions. We believe great ideas come from anywhere, no matter your experience, so we constantly strive to ensure we are creating a space for equitable sharing of ideas.
We do what we do to make a positive impact on the way people experience the world, and our commitment to our craft mirrors our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
We encourage our clients to operate with authenticity and we celebrate the individuality of everyone on our team: all races and ethnicities, all ages and abilities, all gender identities and expressions, and all sexual orientations. We only partner with companies and organizations that share these same values.
Our Values
-
We don’t stop until we find your story and share it in a way that creates a positive, lasting connection to your audience. Because we’re here for one reason: to enrich your daily life through design.
-
We love exploring. We ask questions to understand your mission, and we dig-in to align with your audience and their needs. We invest in ideas, stress-testing every possible solution before committing to it.
-
Everyone’s got a seat at the design table. Regardless of your industry, scale, or creative experience, we make space for equitable sharing—because great ideas can come from anywhere. We also love to partner with other designers, makers, and existing creative teams.
-
Ego? We leave it at the door. We’re here to listen to your goals, find your voice, and tell your story. And don’t worry—we check in on the regular to make sure we’re all on the same page.
-
At M–O, there’s no such thing as “too committed.” We stick with you 100% of the way, refining details and working toward an outcome that we’re all proud of, whether it’s physical, tactile, or digital.
How We Work
Our goal is to tell your story. Whether that’s in your space or through your collateral, we’re here to visually express your voice. We get real results for our clients with our 5-step process:
1. Discover
We roll up our sleeves and get to work, asking questions and analyzing the facts.
2. Ideate
We put our pencils to paper, exploring the possibilities as we caffeinate and repeat.
3. Translate
We focus in, finding those “Aha!” moments while we polish until we get a thumbs up.
4. Finalize
We mock up the design, double-checking each and every document before hit send.
5. Realize
It’s go time. We deploy, implement, and high-five at the finish line.
Our Clients
(We try not to brag, but…) We are proud of the exceptional solutions we create for a diverse set of clients in many different industries. Whether strolling through the built environment or scrolling the web, we are enthusiastic about delivering design that enriches the connections in our users’ lives and our clients’ businesses. No matter if your project is focused on how people live, work, learn, or play (or something else!), we’ve got you covered — so drop us a line and tell us all about it!
