MYD icon Ten Years Ten Years

So, that’s what a decade feels like.

From humble beginnings to mighty underdogs, the first ten years of Mind Your Design has been the adventure of a lifetime. Since 2011 we have aimed to fuse neighborly service with world-class creativity. Our commitment to great service has set us apart and given us a track record for going the extra mile. Along the way, we have partnered with some of the nation’s smallest and largest organizations to create incredible results. Our team has grown to 15 strong. Our work has been published in all 50 states. We've executed over 5,000 projects. And we’ve collected enough stories to write more than a few books.

While we’ve been in the thick of the action, we have never forgotten the community that got us started and continues to support us every day. Each year we donate over 1,000 billable hours to causes, institutions, and people that we believe in. Our team engages in volunteerism that improves our neighborhood and benefits our fellow small businesses. 100% of that happens within 5 miles of our office.

Over the years we’ve formed not only great partnerships but also wonderful and lasting friendships. The generosity and trust we have felt from our neighbors and clients go beyond what we ever expected. 10 years ago we set out to build something we could be proud of. 10 years later we're still fighting the good fight. To our team, partners, clients, friends, and supporters near and far - we send our heartfelt thanks for making it all possible.

pay it forward

If you’re considering doing something to congratulate us, that’s totally awesome and appreciated. Instead we would ask you make a donation to any organization of your choosing that is working to protect and preserve open space, clean air, and clean water in the United States. If you want suggestions, here are some organizations we stand behind.

Thank you

Without the trust, support, and efforts of everyone who has been involved with Mind Your Design for these last 10 years, it simply wouldn't have been possible. Every small business is built on a dream and a dash of hope. By the sheer willpower of some amazing people this one came true. Here’s to many more adventures. Here's to the underdogs.
