About Principle Studios
Principle was created as a lifestyle design and technology consultancy. Its goal is to prove that caring for our customer’s needs, caring for our community and caring for our team’s well-being are not mutually exclusive. So what does a lifestyle agency even mean? It means that we’ve established a different norm within our agency. The ‘life’ in lifestyle refers to the fact that we really do want you to have a life outside of work. Don’t misinterpret that. We value exceptional work, but we also value having an exceptional life.
We will forever be remote but we have tons of online collaboration. Principle doesn’t have a strict top down culture and we have a strong mentor program with growth opportunities. We offer competitive salaries and great benefits. We have a kind and supportive culture and have created opportunities to give back to our employees’ communities. (see our Love in Action project on our website)
Diversity fuels our spirit. We have a commitment to inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity and experience that drives us forward every day.
