why work with us?

You don’t see ingredients.
You see possibilities.

You don’t just want people to buy your stuff.*
You want to see them transformed into the people they always wanted to be.

Can all that happen from one bite of chocolate, one spoonful of orange marmalade, or one simple shift in thinking?

You bet it can.

When you work with The Zen Kitchen, you get:

• Intuitive chefs who help you make the most of what you’ve got. An intuitive chef never obsesses over a recipe. She knows the ingredients so well she can taste the combinations in her mouth, creating something spectacular with whatever’s on hand. We do that for your brand. First, we help you understand what your audience really wants, and then we use fonts, logos, colors, and content to create an experience that matches what you give your customers.
• A nimble collective of independent designers, marketing specialists, and copywriters who give you all you need to thrive—and nothing you don’t. We have a zero-waste policy. That means you get agency-level work without unsightly overhead. We’re a smart, agile bunch who can scale up to any size project. And right back down again, too.
• Project-based fees so you buy delight—not an egg timer. Your customers will remember how you made them feel—not how long it took us to help you. Instead of tracking our time, we implant every client in our brains. Then we think, stew, obsess, strategize. A project-based proposal with a fixed fee means you get no sticky surprises now—or ever. The midnight epiphanies are on us.
• Friendly straight-shooters who get things done—and done right. It’s impossible for us to settle for anything less than delightful. And we won’t let our clients settle, either. Hidden beneath this friendly, approachable exterior is a relentless commitment to your customers. Yes, we’re pushy. But don’t worry—we know you’ll thank us later.

Now that you know a bit more about our approach, take a look at our design process.

*Although, of course, that would be nice, too.
