- When I lead internal design teams, I was amazed at how difficult it could be to bring in outside design resources. I’d find the most talented freelancers who couldn’t return phone calls or emails. Or they’d be really on the ball, back really lacked the depth or breadth of talent. Or design firms would bring the whole team in and charge us a ton of money, and we’d feel like we could produce better work ourselves.\n\nSo, feeling that there had to be a better way, I went out on my own as Bold Type Design with the vision of teaming up with other creative people that I had a great respect for.\n\nWhen Bold Type Design was formed, it was important to us that we could be highly responsive to our clients needs. So we created a business structure based on the principle of “teaming.” That is, forming fluid combinations of creative entrepreneurs specifically for each project. Instead of using freelancers who have little dedication to a project other than seeing it completed, we come together as project partners who, sharing equity in the project, have a lot vested in its success.\n\nSo, I’m able to allocate the resources necessary to a project. Whether it’s a project that requires just one person, or if I need to put a team together, I can quickly piece together the right people for the project.\n
- Our values are our brand. \n\nWe value honesty, respect, openness, creativity, and collaboration. We love what we do, and believe that this is necessary to do our best work.\n\nHaving this focus, we’ve found, has helped us to really enjoy who we work with as well.\n

- Design IS a joy.\n\nVery few industries allow its professionals to be at once artistic and analytical; aesthetically focused and strategically focused; serious and funny. \n\nDesigners enjoy one of the few professions allowing them to see their work displayed everywhere — the world is their refrigerator! And in how many occupations are the clients so lavish with their praise?\n\nWhy then, are designers typically cantankerous, inattentive and ambivalent? It doesn’t need to be tolerated. Design is a joyful, self actualizing process and design professionals should at least make the effort to appreciate that.\n
