A Little Agency Laney

Laney started A Little Agency with one simple belief: small teams do big, meaningful work when they focus on the right projects, craft clear strategy, and prioritize human connection. What began as a one-person studio helping local nonprofits design better websites has grown into a nimble creative agency that partners with mission-driven organizations and startups to turn ideas into memorable brands and usable products.

A Little Agency plans to stay intentionally small while deepening expertise in accessible design, nonprofit communications, and sustainable product practices. The focus will be on partnerships where the agency’s lean process and human-centered craft can accelerate impact.

If you’re a small organization that needs clear strategy, usable design, and a partner who values practicality over polish-for-its-own-sake, Laney’s approach is worth a conversation.
