Outside

Last Friday we hosted Inside Outside: The Creative Process at our studio in Kathmandu. It was a night of many firsts:

The first time we hosted a design-focused open house. The first time our international team, including our creative team from Italy, the US, and the UK, were in the studio. The first time we transformed the ground floor of our studio into an exhibition space, taking attendees through our actual branding process.

Thank you to everyone who came, enjoyed cutting chiya tea, chhoila, and batuk, heard from Creative Director Rich Stangroom, and mingled.

Overall, this was an invigorating experience, and we’re looking forward to connecting with more Nepal-based creatives. If you’re a designer who would like to sign up for a portfolio review session with Rich, please send an email to [email protected] to set up a time. Note that these sessions are limited, and are only for people who have design work to discuss.

We’re hosting another Inside Outside open house, but this time, we’re getting creative.

RSVP here for Inside Outside: The Creative Process, Nov. 15 at 5 p.m. at our studio in Kathmandu, Nepal:

Join Outside Creative Director Rich Stangroom for an engaging session all about designing for brands and digital platforms. Rich will be demonstrating how he and his team work through a creative project from the initial conceptual phases—thinking about how a brand should feel and what mood it can inspire—through the final deliverables, when they create logos, color palettes, typography, and website designs.

He and Outside Design Lead Margherita Fortuna will also be available to answer questions and will provide details about portfolio review sessions for aspiring and working designers in November.

Rich, based in the UK, has more than 12 years of top agency experience across multiple industries, from digital publishers to sports media companies. He was previously an associate design director at Code & Theory, and a senior designer at Method. Margherita, based in Italy, joined us full-time this year after working as a freelance design director. She’s also on the jury for the Awwwards and FWA.

Rich and Margherita have worked together on award-winning projects at Outside, including branding and website design for Firefly (fireflypartners.com) and Gen E (Generationenvironment.com).

If you’re a designer or are interested in learning more about joining the creative field, meet them in person Nov. 15 at our studio. Snacks, drinks, and good vibes, always provided.

About four years after we first introduced the Generation Environment website to the world, it was time for a brand refresh. 🌎

Gen E is a micro-philanthropy app that automatically donates a percentage of users’ everyday spending to vetted environmental nonprofits. Its mission is to fuse environmental action with everyday living, creating an opportunity for people to enjoy life on Earth while investing in its future.

We’ve been working with founder Kristen Kammerer for almost as long as Outside has existed, and we appreciate her dedication to vetting the nonprofits the company supports.

“Modern environmentalism” broadens the environmentalist “brand” beyond stereotypes, offering everyone a way into the movement. It’s environmentalism, for everyone.

Our design strategy focuses on easing the climate anxiety that makes people feel powerless to effect change.

If the feeling the brand inspires is: ‘I’m ready to become an environmentalist,’ then the first question the language should be answering is: ‘Where do I start?’

If you missed our first Inside Outside open house, or want to learn something new about web accessibility, mark your calendar for June 21 at 5 p.m.

Our Inside Outside events, held at our office in Kathmandu, give people the opportunity to see what the company is all about – how we work, what we do, and what kind of career opportunities are available at our studio. Plus, there will be tea, snacks, and plenty of Outside team members to meet and chat with.
