Our Values - the heart of SMD

 

01 Lagom

The philosophy of not too much and not too little. In our designs, in how we connect with our audience, and in how we communicate with others. It’s about being authentic. Drawing in what is meaningful, purposeful, and special, and turning away from things that aren’t. 

02 Creativity

Every day, we commit to fueling our creative fire. Through stepping out of our comfort zones, we expose ourselves to the new. We face the unknown. And we serve ourselves, our brand, and our clients, with originality, imagination, and inspiration. 

03 Strategy

Articulating the feeling always comes first. 95% of consumer decisions are made not with rationale. But with the subconscious. By starting with feeling, and working backwards, we create projects for our clients that are rich with beauty and strengthened by purpose. 

 

04 Intuition

By making intuition one of our key brand values, we are granting ourselves permission to trust our inner voice. Cultivating the courage to trust ourselves. Because our experience, creativity, and passion for our work, means that the right solutions are within us. 

05 Human-Centered

Because when we understand the interconnected network of how our work, designs, and processes impact people?That’s when we create with meaning. And that’s when we truly connect with the world around us. And that’s where the magic is.
