Communication design with a focus on sustainability & fairness

We are designers inspired by alpine nature and mountain sports, embodying the approach "by fair means." This radical method enables us to create clear, principled designs and sustainable strategies.

by fair means

This is what we live by
(day in, day out)

Integrity

Our work practice is guided by our values and ideals. By Fair Means exists for this reason: We cannot and will not make compromises. We work solely for our conviction: "A good life for all," utilizing our entire skill set to achieve this goal.

Respect

Respect is at the core of our work philosophy. It starts with respect for nature and our environment. Maintaining this respect is the foundation of every project. A respectful interaction at all levels shapes our teamwork and every interaction, whether with the mountains or with you!

Sustainability

Sustainability is our realm of possibilities! By consciously incorporating ethical, ecological, and social aspects, we create truly meaningful solutions. Using sustainable materials is just the tip of the iceberg, the cherry on top for us.

Precision

Our projects are characterized by meticulous attention to detail and precision. This accuracy ensures that every final product is not only meaningful and functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Craftsmanship

Our deep understanding of our craft, combined with extensive training, allows us to deliver creative and technically high-quality solutions that provide genuine value.

Consistency

We stay true to our principles and consistently implement our ethical beliefs. Our unwavering stance and perseverance help us overcome the toughest challenges and stay on course.
