Meet the Founder
Melanie Walby is an award-winning designer, illustrator, and creative director. Since 2010, her experience at various ad agencies, design firms and design-centered nonprofits have taught her the power of visual communication and narrative change.
Her work spans across branding, advertising, editorial, and social justice. Through using her designs as a force to create meaningful change, her work guides people to have much needed conversations offline and in person. Her print pieces bring hard truths and healing together in the form of exhibitions, events, and printed home goods. Throughout her posters, stationary, and her new book Clear Water she weaves together history, social justice, and theology as an interconnected story of hope and healing.
We make things with a purpose on purpose.
Our home goods are designed to bring affirmations, hard truths, hope and healing together into pieces intended for people to engage with offline and in person.
Since 2013, we’ve been building our brand of printed home goods designed to inspire, educate and impact people. Our work spans across justice, spirituality, healing, affirmations and history to tie together a story of possibility and hope.
Show Up Unexpected
We’re in a time where social media algorithms are designed to create entirely different experiences online that led to the extreme polarization we’ve all witnessed over the last decade. That’s why our work is intentionally created for physical spaces — circumventing the dividing walls of online access to content by designing objects to find people where they’re at: a department store, a state fair, a gas station, a hospital, a coffee shop, or at a loved one’s home.
Surprise and Inspire
A 24-hour news cycle has people overwhelmed by injustice, violence and hate. Our society is in need of a hope that is not sugarcoated nor cynical and our brand is exceptional at holding those tensions in a way that helps people see what’s possible. We see ourselves as just one part of the larger ecosystem of people dedicated to making a better world and hope that our work—alongside the community of organizers that inspire us—brings a much needed culture of grace to this very broken world.
