The Value Sails That Propel the StumpCraft Ship
Posted by Jasen Robillard on
Ahoy, puzzlers and StumpCraft enthusiasts!
Have you heard about the Ship of Theseus? It's a metaphor we love to use for our ever-evolving puzzle studio. Just as the ship's parts get replaced over time, our team, our products, and even our ideas evolve. But what keeps us on course? Our values – held in tension within our sails, which catch the wind and propel us forward. These aren't just words on a wall; they're the living heart of StumpCraft.
Generosity: Sharing the Gift of Collaboration
Puzzles are gifts, often given to bring joy. We see our work in the same light. Each collaboration, every fragment of time, every piece of talent shared, is a gift. This value of generosity is what fuels appreciation for each other and the community around us.
Creativity: Embracing the Beginner's Mind
Creativity isn't just about artistic expression; it's about curiosity, wonder, and a willingness to play. We challenge ourselves to experiment, to approach our work with a beginner's mind, and to find inspiration in the world around us.
Integrity: Pursuing the True, the Good and the Beautiful
Integrity is our aspirational commitment to being in right relationship with our values, our peers and the world around us. It's about honesty, candour, transparency, and striving for excellence in everything we do.
Be kind and supportive
Embrace new ideas and approaches
Be curious
Take pride in our work
We believe that by embracing these values, we can create something truly special – a company that not only creates amazing puzzles but also contributes to a better world.
We invite you to join us on our journey! Welcome aboard mates!
