The Nørd story: a small studio with a big impact

Small by design, big on impact – a Nordic studio built on fairness, collaboration, and culturally intuitive creativity.

Crystal-clear, not corporate confusion. We don't do complicated fine print and fuzzy calculations. Instead, we've embraced radical transparency.

You'll always know exactly where your money is going, who's working on your project, and why things cost what they do. We'll even tell you what percentage goes directly to the brilliant mind(s) handling your project (it's much higher than the industry average, by the way).

Because we believe clarity isn't just courteous – it's a bold step in the right direction in an industry built on opacity.

Living up to what we promise. "Ethical business" isn't just something we put in brochures to look good – it's ingrained in our DNA.

From fair payment practices to environmentally conscious operations, we make choices that respect people and the planet. We carefully vet customers and projects and politely decline work that goes against our values (yes, we've actually turned down money – shocking in today's business world!).

When you work with Nørd, you're choosing a studio that considers the impact of our UX, design, and content work beyond their immediate marketing goals.

Ten principles – zero compromises. We're not just word and digital design nerds – we're citizens of the world.

Nørd Studio proudly operates in line with all ten principles of the UN Global Compact, from human rights and labour standards to environmental responsibility and anti-corruption practices.

This isn't corporate virtue signalling – it's our genuine commitment to being a positive force in the global community. We believe all companies can make a huge impact when they operate with integrity and purpose.

Partners, not just providers. We're building something refreshingly different: a UX, digital, and content design studio where long-term relationships matter more than short-term profits.

We celebrate customer successes, grow with your business, and genuinely care about the impact of our digital experiences and content on the world. Our in-house team and our freelancers stick with us because they're treated with respect, and our customers come back to us because they can feel the difference that makes to their finished work.

In a business culture where disposability has become the norm, we're proudly creating something designed to last.

Scandinavian values in action. Being small isn't just about the size of our studio – it's about treading with care to minimise our impact on the planet while making a meaningful impression through our work.

We embrace digital collaboration to reduce unnecessary travel, support local initiatives in our freelancers' communities, and constantly seek out ways to make our operations more sustainable.

Because in true Scandinavian tradition, we believe in caring for the world around us while creating beautiful things that last.

Real people, real values, real connections. In an industry increasingly dominated by AI and automation, we're proudly, stubbornly human.

We believe in laughing together during Zoom calls (well, we don't use Zoom, but you get the idea), celebrating birthdays across time zones, and remembering that behind every project is a person with dreams and deadlines.

Our Nordic-inspired approach balances professional excellence with genuine warmth – creating a working experience that respects the humans on both sides of every project. Because the best work happens when people feel valued, not just valuable.
