am·bi·vert | ˈambəˌvərt |
“a person whose personality has a balance of extrovert and introvert features.”
We’re of the view that organizations should have identities (logo, website, and collateral) that reflect the personalities of the people that run and work in them — and that are able to project that personality to both themselves and their clients. In other words: if your organization is hip and laid-back, your identity should be too, and so on.
Ambivert Creative can accomplish this balancing act. To schedule a free consultation and estimate, please contact us.
Payment Options
In order to provide the best possible service for a variety of budgets and business-models, Ambivert Creative provides flexible payment plans for projects of any size — allowing you to break the total into monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly payments.
Before we begin work on your project, we will need the following:
- A completed Project Specifications Sheet.
- A negotiable-percentage downpayment.
- A mutually signed contract.
We prefer the following forms of payment:
Use of checks, PayPal, wire-transfers, etc. can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Our Ethics
Although we like to consider ourselves to be “hip and laid-back,” we take our ethics very seriously. This means that we will live up to our promises, and we value honesty and integrity — both in ourselves, and in the clients we choose to work with.
Due to this, we will not accept commissions from the following:
- Government agencies — local, state, or national (e.g., police departments).
- Non-governmental agencies whose sole (or main) source of work is government contracts (e.g., defense contractors).
- Organizations made up solely of government employees (e.g., government workers unions).
- Political parties, candidates, or action committees.
We view the initiation of violence as both immoral and counter-productive, and therefore will not accept commissions from any organization that promotes it. We believe the state is indeed such an immoral, violent, and coercive institution; and thus we refuse to support it. Further, we will gladly accept commissions from organizations that seek a non-violent end to the state system.
While Ambivert Creative has done work for (very) select political candidates and political activists in the past, we no longer do so. We define “political activism” as seeking to persuade the state to take action on an issue by soliciting votes or signatures, lobbying, campaigning, running for office, etc.
We will actively seek out and accept commissions from the following:
- Non-governmental education and information organizations (e.g., alternative news and opinion publications).
- Organizations and businesses that promote self-sufficiency and/or provide resources for doing so.
- Non-political activism organizations (e.g., civil-disobedience groups).
- Cooperatives, barter groups, alternative currencies and networks, non-governmental commerce promotion organizations, etc.
- Groups, businesses, cooperatives, and other organizations who promote agorism, voluntaryism, market-anarchism, and the like.
This above list is by no means exhaustive, and we are happy to work with most independent businesses and organizations. This information is meant to indicate our core values, in order to ensure that we are able to work with people who we can fully respect, and vice versa. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
