200 billion galaxies of collaboration

We’ll never be done learning. Realizing that, we’ll always be attempting to learn the next thing. We value exploration because we know that it (typically) leads to something new—or prompts a response in us to create a missing piece.

An exploring mind is hungry for the things unsearched, and isn’t content with the regular day-to-day experience that others are fine with. We’re Lewis and Clark, Einstein in the kitchen and even a little bit of Childish Gambino with he decided to falsetto-it-up on his latest album.

We embrace what we don’t know, and search until we do know.

We work together to capitalize on particular strengths to build a project. From the very beginning of a job, we value the simple action of slowing down long enough to hear a vision communicated to us — so we can elevate it and bring it to life. We develop a deep understanding of our partners’ aspirations.

And then, we collaborate to deliver outcomes that add value to our clients’ projects and their communities.

We value the diversity of ideas and people.

We know that our viewpoint in this world is often siloed within our communities, and impedes our ability to make connections and love those who’ve been exposed to other ideas and opinions.

We want to empower others to share their thoughts while simultaneously growing more empathetic and understanding of the various cultures, ideas and mindsets around us.

NUU is a family. At the end of the day, we want our office to feel like a sanctuary, not a prison. A place where we champion each other and make the people around us a big deal. A workplace where we choose for the highest good of our coworkers because we care about them and are thrilled when they succeed.

We’re not interested in your thought-pieces about Netflix’s team vs. family discussion. Why can’t you love the people around you unconditionally and work as a team?

We are constructive, not critical. We are purposeful, never negligent. We are warm, not professional.

There’s nothing more restraining than structure that holds creativity rigid, rather than setting it free. We value the concept of fluidity at NUU because we know that sometimes we won’t have the answers locked in.

We roll with the punches, learn on the fly, pick up skills that we never thought we’d need and fill the holes we find under intense scrutiny. Simultaneously that is our challenge and our opportunity: to be fluid enough for success in unexplored places.

We embrace it fully.

Why do we do the things we do every day? We know; we do them because we want people to touch NUU and realize that it was a fully unique experience. It’s not something that is common.

Rather, it’s rare and special. It’s an occasion that you’ll remember. We never interact off the cuff. We are intentional and purposeful and we look for ways to encourage and delight at all touch points.
