Our core business values
Obacht comes from the German word – a noun to mean “taking care” and “being careful.” Every client we work with is an intentional collaboration, because we want to practice our values, not just advertise with them.
Our clients will expect not just great brand designs from us, but also reliable project management from a talented team of designers, marketers, and other design professionals.
Bringing quality.
We value quality in our work and strives to create branding that accompanies our environmentally and socially conscious clients for as long as they need.
Championing sustainability.
We believe in sustainability and works with clients that use materials that are environmentally friendly and ethically sourced.
Striving for liberation and equity.
We fight for anti-racism, feminism, and intersectionality in all our work.
Finding meaning.
Life is meant to find beauty and meaning in the work we do – not because we have to, but because we want to.
Maximizing social impact.
With few competitors in the field, we know there are design studios that can fill the need of brands, but a lack of studios that care about the same values as the client.
Being intentional.
Going back to the root of Studio Obacht’s name: every project we work on goes through a vigorous process to ensure that it has the highest quality and social impact for the given budget and resources.
