Well, Howd'y Partner!
We’re not your typical consultants. We’re designers who bring clarity—and partners who stand beside you if things get messy. Purpose-led, B Corp-certified, and built for collaboration.
Partners in progress
We’re designers at heart. That means we’re comfortable with ambiguity, curious about complexity, and committed to creating clarity—visually, structurally, and strategically.
It also means we’re not afraid to stand alongside our clients in the mess and uncertainty—helping them find focus, make sense of the challenges they’re facing, and move forward with confidence.
But clarity on its own isn’t enough. What matters is what we do with it.
We’re a B Corp-certified consultancy with a simple purpose: to help the good guys win. We work with leaders who want to make a positive difference—for people, communities, and the planet.

OWNERS
PARTNERS
Their MODEL
Traditional consulting is built on independence. Control the client. Own the insight. Protect your IP. Compete on scarcity.
But this mindset limits impact. It creates bottlenecks, silos, and a culture of transactional thinking — where value is extracted, not shared.
It assumes success is zero-sum: if one wins, another must lose. That way of working is no longer fit for purpose.
our MODEL
We believe the future belongs to those who collaborate. To those who share ideas, credit, and responsibility, and to those who work in partnership — with clients, with peers, and with the planet.
At H&A, we’re embracing a new model: a system built on interdependence.
One where we act as the strategic hub — offering clarity, focus, and purpose-led thinking.
One where our partners bring specialist skills — trusted experts, aligned in values and vision.
With our model, clients gain access to the right minds at the right time — without the overhead or ego.
This isn’t outsourcing. It’s ecosystems.
It’s not dilution. It’s multiplication.
Together, we’re stronger, faster, and more effective.
