Our Values. Our Impact
"Sustainability starts with the choices we make and how we design, who we work with, and what we leave behind."
At LKDS, we believe good design shouldn’t cost the Earth. From the platforms we use to the partners we collaborate with, every decision is made with intention to create work that’s not only beautiful and effective, but responsible.
This page is a transparent look at how we are building a more sustainable studio one project, platform, and packaging choice at a time.
Studio Commitments
Conscious Hosting
We choose website platforms and hosts that offer green infrastructure (for example renewable-powered data centers and carbon offsetting options).
Design for Longevity
We create brand identities and websites built to last reducing the need for constant redesigns and waste.
Digital Efficiency
We optimise websites for speed and weight. Lighter sites use less energy and perform better on every device.
Mindful Printing
When branding requires physical deliverables, we work with local printers who offer recycled stocks, water-based inks, and small-batch runs.
Everyday Studio Habits
Here’s what sustainability looks like behind the scenes of a small design studio:
Remote-first setup (reduced travel footprint)
Paperless proposals and contracts
Carbon-neutral or green shipping where needed
Regular design audits to reduce digital waste
Sharing resources and templates to reduce duplication and overproduction
Our Partners & Platforms
We choose to work with like-minded developers, printers, and collaborators who value transparency, impact, and craft. Wherever possible, we seek out vendors who align with ethical and sustainable practices from hosting to handling print.
Looking Forward
We don’t have all the answers but we are committed to asking better questions.
As we grow, we’ll continue to review and refine how sustainability shows up in our work.
Whether it's smarter digital design or more conscious collaboration, our goal is always the same: create good work that does good.
