Design Agency Manifesto | Our Purpose

We’re on a mission to create an equitable and inclusive world, using the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 10 as our framework

Our core values are the moral compass guiding us on the journey to achieving our mission

Brave

Courage leads to discovery

We believe big breakthroughs happen when we push past our comfort zone and take risks. We're obsessed with looking at things differently, pursuing what matters and following our instincts, even if it can get a little daunting.

Nurturing

Relationships are transformative

We're passionate about helping people grow into the best they can be. Whether we’re empowering one person or many, we do it with genuine care — guiding and uplifting them to be better prepared for tomorrow.

Resourceful

Hard isn't the same as impossible

We're committed to creating real impact in whatever we do, no matter how unpredictable things get. When we solve complex social problems or bring communities together, we deliver on our promise to the people we serve.

Curious

Quality work depends on good questions

We see the world as it should be. We experiment with new ways of doing things rather than conforming to what's come before. Innovation can come from anywhere. New people, perspectives and places can only improve what exists today.

Optimistic

Imagination decides everything

We get excited by the 'what ifs'. Things go wrong, but we're grateful for the adventures we're in. It's the stuff life is made of. Overcoming the odds. Rolling with the punches. There's magic in choosing to hope every single time.

DrawHistory is a team whose always upbeat, approaching our urgent project with a can-do attitude. They created exactly what we were looking for in an extremely tight timeline, and were always happy to answer questions, and get us what we wanted.

Alexandra Gabrielle, Program Coordinator, Population Services International

I brought you a complex puzzle with this project. This was not your typical project and yet you were up for the challenge with a smile and creativity that did not diminish throughout. You were on my team throughout. I am clearer on how the pieces fit together, I have new ideas to explore and a gallery proposal that I am sure will move my projects forward.

Jay Weinstein, Founder, So I Asked Them to Smile

I'm so grateful and inspired to have worked with such an amazing team! I have worked with many firms like yours and haven't experienced the same level of commitment; you made our project seem like so much more than another job for you; you were committed to the same ends, helped keep things on track and shared the journey with us in every way.

I had a very good time working with the DrawHistory team. Even though we were oceans apart, communication has always gone exceptionally smooth - and I felt like I could count on them with anything. I also felt like we had a shared vision and I didn't have to go above and beyond to explain myself - they just 'got it'.
