Ripe Loves L.A.!

Some clients come to us saying "we just need a logo." That`s usually a sign the real work hasn`t started yet.

Our creative director Heather Richman breaks down why a logo without strategy behind it is just a graphic, and what our discovery process actually looks like before a single pixel gets designed. New episode of Ripe Insights is live, link in bio.

Tonight we had the honor of celebrating 25 years of Wildwoods LA! 🎉

What does digital equity look like in practice?

For LA County’s Justice, Care & Opportunities Department, it meant creating a one-stop, open-access resource hub for community-based organizations working with justice-involved individuals and families.

The Incubation Academy Resource Hub brings together training, funding opportunities, events, and practical tools; designed to be easy to maintain, easy to navigate, and built to grow.

This is the kind of work we love. Where thoughtful design meets real-world constraints and real community impact.

✨ What is Human-Centered Design—and how do you actually do it?

It’s more than a buzzword. It’s a mindset: start with people’s needs, design around their challenges, and refine until the experience feels effortless.

In this Reel, we break it down step by step:
👥 Understand users
🎯 Define the problem
💡 Ideate & prototype
🔄 Test & iterate

When it’s done right, design feels invisible—because it just works.
