Our Values
Courage
We strive for courage over comfort, knowing better relationships and better work are on the other side.
Truth
We aim to be interested over being interesting. Our human way of approaching people and problems eliminates embellishment, leading to "plain smart" work that's thoughtful, clear and intuitive.
Harmony
Suspending judgement, we extend the most generous interpretation possible to the intentions, words, and actions of others.
