We are a design and strategic communications studio serving the nonprofit world, helping to advance the sector through innovative, dynamic and visual tools.

HPAC (Hunts Point Alliance for Children) in the South Bronx coordinates over a dozen specialized nonprofit organizations, spanning sectors of health, education, economic development and more. They reach out to an extremely under-served population in one of the poorest zip codes in the county, and through a number of innovative programs ensure their advancement in society.
