Values

Values

We work for organizations that maintain goals and values that extend beyond profits. Our clients care about the impact their actions have on the world around them.

Standards

We seek out partners that represent or incorporate some or many elements from this list:

  • Sustainability

  • Equity

  • Anti-racism

  • Inclusivity

  • Feminism

  • Queer Allyship

  • Accessibility

  • Arts & Education

  • Non-profits

  • Veganism

Typically, as long as you’re making a positive impact, we’re pretty excited to work with clients of all shapes and sizes. However, there are a few things that really grind our gears (and thus would make for a terrible partnership):

  1. Industries that have a disproportionately harmful effect on the planet, people, and/or animals (e.g. fossil fuels, weaponry, factory farming).

  2. Dishonest, misleading, unproven, or disingenuous marketing (e.g. oversized packaging, sketchy fine print, “healing” crystals).

  3. Profiting off of fear and insecurity (e.g. pseudoscience, mysticism, body shaming, guilt-tripping).

  4. Ripping off a competitor’s style rather than finding your own voice.

FYI

Cast Iron Design is now The Office of Ordinary Things. We relocated from Boulder to San Francisco, but otherwise we’re pretty much the same people doing the same things, just a bit more hardcore.
