The Sunward Way
-
1. Strategy Briefing
The process kicks off with a 1:1 session to strategize and define the scope of work together. We’ll collaborate closely to create the brief that will serve as our guide throughout the partnership.
-
2. Deep Design
Once the brief is approved, Sunward will dedicate full creative focus to develop one strong concept. This approach reduces time risk and ensures our whole energy is given to the most effective design solution.
-
3. Refinement & Finalization
After a holistic presentation, we’ll refine the concept with as many revision rounds as needed. You’ll have ample opportunity to give feedback and receive expertise as we move toward the final package.
-
4. Application Support
We’ll support you with navigating how to use your brand guidelines, assets, and any other tools created. This continues throughout the entire offboarding phase so you can build confidence at your own pace.
-
5. Delivery
All of the creative will be packaged and delivered as defined by the brief. You’ll initiate the internal and external roll-outs of the design work, and we’ll be ready to help with any questions your team may have.
-
6. Assurance
Our partnerships are taken seriously. We commit to following up with you for up to 3 months after delivery to fill in any gaps, refresh your knowledge base, and offer extended support for continued success.
Our Founder
Nearly 15 years ago, Robyn Walker began pursuing the art and strategy of being a professional creative. Now an award-winning designer, industry speaker, and passionate mentor, she continues to hold true to that same thoughtful intentionality as when the journey began.
Robyn has experienced firsthand the importance of nonprofits. Being rooted and raised in the spirit of empathy, her sunward approach to life is inspired by fearless compassion in the face of overwhelming losses. This goes beyond a heartfelt notion, it’s an unwavering commitment that’s the foundation for every perspective and action.
“Help those who are troubled and satisfy their needs.
Then your light will shine in the darkness.
You will be like the bright sunshine at noon.”
- Isaiah 58:10 ERV
Empowered by a lifetime of advocating and volunteering, she envisioned a studio dedicated to supporting nonprofits through design expertise. That vision is brought to life through Sunward’s human-centered pillars and processes.
