About Radish
Radish Lab launched in 2012 to work on projects we believe in, with clients we click with. And today, we’re still invested in much more than just the end-product. We care about the people we work with and about the people our work impacts. Using collaboration, compassion, and creativity to solve problems at any scale, we deliver work that blends usability, aesthetics, and ethics.
In our approach to working with clients we are committed to working: With empathy, not ego. With them, not for them. With integrity, not just ideas.
Our Values
Radish Lab has five core values and we expect you to share them.
EMPATHY helps us better understand what a project’s goals might really be, why a client’s work is so vital to the people they serve, and why a coworker might be having a bad day.
CURIOSITY enables us to ask better questions, keeps us humble, and nurtures an adventurous spirit.
KINDNESS sounds easy, like holding the door open for someone, but we try and hold ourselves to a higher bar. If you hold the door open for someone then support a system that oppresses them, is that truly kind?
DIVERSITY. Asking who isn’t at the table is vital. Our work is better when we have a diverse team, client contacts, and stakeholders.
CAMARADERIE. Having genuinely good working relationships with our colleagues makes our days more enjoyable, and makes our work better.
