manifesto

Purpose-driven distinction.

There is power in perspective.

In 2015, we set out to build a multidisciplinary collective of experienced executives, designers, strategists, and industry leaders to help navigate transformational growth.

Today, we solve some of the toughest organizational growth challenges by pairing strategic thinking with human-centered design principles. Our work is novel - new, inspiring, and innovative - and it confronts the status quo.

Our mission is to move organizations from dilemma to distinction.

Let's take a journey.
Open but grounded

We let our work breath. A process of expansion and contraction, gaining insight then honing results.

The expected increase in user activity over the first three months. Most customers see more.

13K

I don't know how I could not afford to work with Novel Work Co. in the way we are engaged. It's transformative, from the inside out.

How we work.

Co.
We're a collective. That means the more, the merrier. We intentionally partner with like-minded teams to deliver greater perspective and transformative results to our clients.
small
We're small, intentionally. Our work is deliberate and unique. You might say that we're really strategic about our measurements of success.
🕵🏼‍♂️
We ask hard questions, of ourselves first, and then our clients. This helps us ensure our work is lasting because we have solved for the right problems.
☕️
We love craft coffee. Especially, pour over. Feel free to swing by and we'll brew you up some.
The farm.
Hopefully you're not expecting a downtown studio. Our office is located on a farm, where purposeful life takes place. The wide open spaces give us freedom to think and do.

Navigating the journey.

Founded on purpose and driven by purpose, our work is strategically and creatively executed.
