OUR STORY
Creatives who believe that a better world starts by creating it.
CMD+Y is a non-profit founded by Alvin Oei, a visual storyteller who has worked for Disney among many other storytelling giants. We have come together as a team of designers to take action, and use design for good.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
Trained in the Art of Doing Good
The idea of CMD+Y was born out of ArtCenter College of Design, as a way for students to give back to the community.
CMD+Y was founded with the vision to use design to educate others on social and environmental causes. This amazing team all have a background in Social Innovation.
This diverse team of individuals have worked for some of the largest brands in the world, with expertise in experiential design, illustration, web design, business strategy, branding, and motion graphics. They have worked internationally for other non-profits, community organizations and more. From workshops with kids to directing brands for good, this team is excited to make a positive impact by creating meaningful experiences for people and communities.
HOW WE DO IT
Putting co-creation & creativity at the center
Choose from three branches of engagement: Mentorship, Discussions, or Design. We believe that working WITH you and your team is the core to our creative process. Before any solution is developed, we work hard to understand the community and issues first. This methodology is core to who we are and brings greater impact later on. Our experience for co-creation has spanned internationally in Chile, Thailand, Japan and U.S. based non-profits.
