Accomplishments

Green Office Policy

The Thinkhaus mission is to support a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable society to enhance the quality of life of people. It meets its socially conscious objectives by dividing its services into three areas:

 

Studio Labs
Thinkhaus meets the communication, marketing and branding needs for businesses and nonprofit organizations. It does this by designing solutions for print media, web and interactive media, signage and environmental graphics.

Community Labs
Thinkhaus engages in community-based activities through event planning where it organizes events and workshops for community and business development. Thinkhaus' "haustalk" is a prime example as it brings people together to learn and discuss social and design/marketing issues.

Project Labs
Thinkhaus focuses on self-initiated projects that support design education and innovation for business. Through this effort new ideas, methods, products and design solutions will emerge to assist entrepreneurs, designers and design educators to grow their business and overall knowledge.
