CARING

Raven & Wood Agency's values are guidelines for our day-to-day actions–in how we look at the world, approach commissions, work with our clients, source materials, and foster our network.

REFLECTIVENESS

We slow down, listen, observe, and focus on each client and project. The client’s needs, desires, and goals are the starting point of each commission. We understand the psychological, emotional, and physiological aspects behind each solution. We work efficiently but are not in a rush. We seek timeless approaches instead of chasing trends.

INSIGHT

We look at the bigger picture to understand connections that enable us to bring forward thoughtful proposals and solutions that best support our client’s next chapter. Through insight, each project becomes strategic—supporting and leading to the client’s vision and goals, as well as supporting the needs of the surrounding world.

CONNECTION

We connect and seek connections. Each project is connected to the client’s stories, present and future, people, and the environment. We seek outcomes that are both grounded and novel—integrated, as if they have always been there. Similarly, we connect the right team for each project.

BOLDNESS

For us, boldness is an attitude—taking steps that are scary and sometimes feel uncertain. We encourage to take the next step and enter a new chapter, even—and especially—when it requires taking a stand and making a statement. For us, boldness can be strongly conceptual, yet paired with functionality. Our aim is to contribute to the experience of awe, triggering both emotion and intellect.

CARE

Care—cura—is at the core of what we do. Respect is our starting point. We take care of our clients and the people around us. Caring for nature is a given for us. We are committed to creating a more just and beautiful world for both humanity and nature.
