Kern Design Lab

Kern Design Lab is a collective of creatives focused on human-centered design. We take inspiration from real people and their experiences and incorporate that feedback into our creative process. We provide graphic design, website design and development, branding, and strategic communication services. We use our craft to uplift the work of organizations whose missions align with our values. Teaming up with organizations and businesses we believe in helps us amplify, strengthen, and empower our local and global communities. We support nonprofit organizations, businesses, and government agencies working to promote social progress.

Kern values approachability, collaboration, integrity, and a commitment to social progress. Our approach includes compassion, care, and respect for our clients, teammates, and partners. In partnership with you, we strive to develop and maintain a strong, collaborative working relationship that includes bringing stakeholder feedback and voices from marginalized communities into our creative process. Collaboration, data-driven decision making, and stakeholder engagement are integral to our process and overall strategy. We strive to recognize how our own identities show up in our work, and welcome, reflect on and act on feedback with an eye toward continuous learning about race, ability, and other lines of difference.
