A new model in the practice of pro bono design is a verynice design studio, a social enterprise, full-service design practice, started in 2009 by Los Angeles-based designer Matthew Manos. Working for over 100 clients–as diverse as a high school in Vancouver and the United Nations–a verynice design studio operates with 40 volunteers internationally is “dedicated to helping those who help others.” 70-80% of its work is done on a pro bono basis, with the remaining work financially supporting the organization’s efforts. Their wide-ranging work was featured in The Huffington Post in mid-May, but in the official words of its website:
The studio provides visual communication services that ranges from brand identities and websites, to motion graphics and magazines. Services are provided to deserving organizations, groups, and individuals at no charge. We are a collective of designers, futurists, activists, environmentalists, teachers, strategists, students, authors, friends, and verynice people, working together.
