Our Values

Put people first

What we make and how we make it should make it a little bit better to be alive: for us, our clients, and their customers.

Give a damn

Our client's goals are our goals. We share the passion for the work you do and the impact it can have. We do work we can be proud of: quality is non-negotiable.

Be curious

The big picture is everyone's responsibility. There is always more to learn, and we are generous in sharing what we know.

Be transparent

We're accountable to our clients and to each other, and respond to problems with solutions, not blame. Vulnerability, while risky, leads to trust and understanding.

“I'm inspired daily by our work aligning to our core values. When the project purpose and our values sync it feels like we are designing for good and purpose for the society."

Katherine Halbig
Senior UX Designer

"Highland is full of passionate, driven individuals who aren't afraid to keep it real and care deeply about their work."

Justin Wu
Lead Design Researcher & Strategist

We welcome differences

As a deeply people-oriented company, we think it matters which voices are represented on our team. We currently nurture a team with previous lives in art, theology, architecture, philosophy, industrial design, and many others. All in all, we’re proud to be bringing the humanities to technology.

Having a diverse range of lived experiences at Highland means there’s a deeper well of knowledge to draw from when we’re connecting with a new client or solving complex problems. Highland is proudly committed to nurturing a culture of diversity and inclusion.
