Life at
Artisan

We are quirky creatives and determined taskmasters intent on having an impact.

It’s special to be an Artisan. We are a passionate lot. We care about the work we produce, how we show up in the world, and our connections to each other.

A day in the life at Artisan will absolutely include silliness in a Slack channel, troubleshooting something, and celebrating each other’s big and small wins. It might include a costumed virtual event, a day off to volunteer, or in-person time with another Artisan (something we treasure as a distributed team.)

Though we build content that ultimately belongs to our clients, we light up when we think of all the things we’ve helped people know how to DO.

We have helped people know how to:

Breastfeed premature babies.
Monitor and evaluate a relief effort for an international NGO.

I cherished a significant moment when I connected with a client’s project manager. We openly discussed our career goals, exchanged valuable resources, and shared a meaningful connection as Black women navigating similar professional journeys. It highlighted the importance of solidarity and mutual support in our careers.

My neurodivergent brain thrives on variety, so I love all the different clients and industries we serve. The challenge of diving into something new regularly keeps me constantly in learning mode and helps me see into aspects of our world that I may not have had the opportunity to explore otherwise.
