WHO + WHY
Design shapes ideas and experiences, and how they stick in people’s hearts and minds. We’re inspired by the power of design to bring positive impacts to our communities and our culture.
For every creative challenge there’s an opportunity to discover a better way forward. We take delight in the design process to hone the moments of connection that resonate with audiences.
We’re a team of strategic creatives. Our background of partnering with mission-driven teams equips us to collaborate closely with you — and draw out the creativity in all of us.

What’s in a name?
On a trip to his family’s hometown, Ernesto’s mind was swirling with thoughts of his life ahead. Stepping into a taxi, he noticed the ID on the window. ‘Malagón,’ the last name read. But the driver didn’t match the picture at all: ‘Malagón’ was a borrowed identity. As he was founding his design practice, this served as a sign for Ernesto. It was an invitation to form a new identity and bring an adventurous spirit to his work — and to the world at large.
