karma is altruistic

 

Our work is about connecting to what matters. We don't measure success in metrics alone—our success is measured by the impact we create through our projects and clients.

Our Mission

to create social and environmental good by guiding, building and launching altruistic brands

 
 

HOW WE GOT HERE

We believe that doing meaningful work means being part of something bigger. Our calling is to build brands which place people and planet over profit. By encouraging and empowering clients who share these values, we create a ripple effect of good.

good goes around

 

our name

Each and every day we have a choice: whether or not to dedicate our time and energy toward good habit and action. The more good we create, the more good goes around. Karma means doing good internally and externally, so that we can collectively reduce human suffering and preserve a healthy planet for future generations.

Testimonials
Karma's work has elevated our business profile and given us the professional look we needed to begin attracting investors.
Karma's work has elevated our business profile and given us the professional look we needed to begin attracting investors.

Customers love how such a simple logo and brand can so cleanly and quickly describe our vision of urban bicycle delivery. Business has doubled this year, in no small part thanks to Karma’s timely, responsive, and talented work. We'll be back when we need more of their vision.

Simply put, Karma just gets it.
Simply put, Karma just gets it.

As much as I am a creative, I had no idea where to begin regarding designing a website and a brand.  Little did I know, I also needed guidance and coaching to see my full vision.  Karma provided so much more than I could have ever imagined that I needed.  Karly kept me in line, focused when I got lost and cheered me on when major bumps came along. I have recommended Karma to every single person I know who is looking for branding and design.

Even on the tight deadline, they took the time to deeply understand my organization.

I'm very happy to have been referred to Karma by a previous client of theirs. I needed a complete brand identity and site design on a very short timeline and Karma was happy to accommodate me.

We worked well together through several revisions, and the final design reflects well on our organization and our vision.

When I was trying to start up my business, Karma was a savior.
When I was trying to start up my business, Karma was a savior.

I am one of those people who tries to do everything myself but when it came to starting up my own business, I was a mess.  I was so overwhelmed and didn't even know where to begin. When I started working with Karma, I immediately felt relieved.  Right away I knew they cared about my business and wanted to help me create a brand that really expressed who I was and what I was offering.  Karly asked really good questions that helped me clarify what my business was all about.  She made the whole process of branding flow with ease and I felt like part of the team.

Our favorite thing about working together was the open and creative approach to our ideas.

Thanks to this support, we were able to teach outdoor education skills to 710 girls in 2017 alone. She worked quickly to create visual solutions for the ideas we had bouncing around in our heads. I'll be forever grateful for her help bringing a timeless yet playful logo to the outdoor education program I hold so dearly, and would happily recommend her!

I have been working with the Karma team for almost six months now, and have to say that I would not be where I am without them.
I have been working with the Karma team for almost six months now, and have to say that I would not be where I am without them.

I had a very challenging and specific brand identity I was looking for, and not only did they help with my direction and refinements, their suggestions and inputs greatly shaped the outcomes that have led to where we are today. Their expertise with everything from mission statement messaging and copy writing to typography and color schemes to graphic design and website development, was uniquely fitting for the scope of my needs.
