Columbus Works

Columbus Works is a transformative nonprofit organization committed to moving Central Ohioans out of poverty through sustainable employment. By providing trauma-informed job readiness training, brain science-based coaching, wraparound case management, and ongoing professional development, they equip individuals with the tools they need for long-term success in the workforce.

Seeking to better communicate their unique approach to fighting poverty, Columbus Works partnered with our team for a comprehensive consultation on their visual identity and communication strategies. Through a design thinking audit, we identified opportunities to clarify and amplify their message, ensuring it reflects the organization’s holistic, evidence-based approach to employment and empowerment.


Our team provided actionable recommendations to enhance the clarity and impact of Columbus Works’ messaging, offering creative solutions for more effective storytelling across their visual assets. By improving the organization’s visual language, Columbus Works is now better positioned to engage stakeholders, attract new partners, and continue its critical work in breaking the cycle of poverty in Central Ohio.

Many of Columbus Works' members (clients) arrive at the organization facing significant barriers to long-term employment. These challenges include limited access to affordable childcare, transportation issues, unresolved trauma, homelessness, criminal justice involvement, and mental and behavioral health concerns. Columbus Works is committed to serving anyone in need of these vital services, providing comprehensive support every step of the way. From stabilizing their lives to securing full-time employment, the organization partners with each individual on their journey to upward economic mobility and lasting success.
