We partner with mission-driven organizations to clarify complex ideas through communications strategy, branding, and thoughtful design. Our work combines strategic thinking with purposeful creativity to create communications that are clear, engaging, and meaningful. We value long-term partnerships with organizations making a positive impact in their communities.

May de Castro is a creative director and strategist who runs the small shop with big ideas. May received her BFA in Graphic Design from the nationally recognized design program at California State University, Long Beach and has a passion for work that contributes to the greater good. She has partnered with organizations to shape brands, strengthen communications, and bring complex ideas to life through thoughtful strategy and design. Her clients have included the ASPCA, Frank Gehry Partners, Keck Medicine, UCLA Health, USC, Southern California Edison, United Way, Walt Disney Concert Hall, World Vision International, and Loyola Marymount University. She believes in giving back to the community and has volunteered for various non-profits focused on the underserved communities of LA, served on the Board of Directors for AIGA LA, and was an Activate Cultural Fellow for ARTS for LA, representing her hometown of Highland Park, advocating for equality through the arts.

When not her in studio, there is a good chance you will find her crushing her forehand on one of LA’s tennis courts, volunteering, tending to her garden, or boarding a flight to one of many destinations on her bucket list.
