Looking for a certified minority-owned vendor? I can help walk you through the certifications and explain how we can work with your procurement requirements. Tell me about your project.
A Seattle-area web design studio holding MBE, DBE, SBE, and OMWBE certifications, making us a vendor-of-record partner for schools, government contractors, nonprofits, and corporations with supplier diversity goals. Real work. Real certifications. Real impact.
Discuss your projectMinority-owned certifications aren't decorations. They are verified credentials that open specific procurement channels, and for organizations with supplier diversity mandates, they can determine whether a vendor is even eligible to bid. Here's what each one does.
Recognized minority ownership and operation. Required or preferred for many private-sector supplier diversity programs, corporate vendor diversity goals, and federal subcontracting.
Federally recognized status for businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Required for many federally funded transportation, infrastructure, and public works projects.
Verified small-business status used by state agencies, municipalities, and large corporations to direct contracts toward smaller suppliers. Often required for set-aside contract eligibility.
Washington State Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises certification, the state-recognized credential that satisfies Washington's public agency supplier diversity requirements.
If your organization has supplier diversity goals, set-aside contracts, or grant requirements involving minority-owned businesses, working with us doesn't just deliver a website, it helps you meet documented procurement objectives. That's two outcomes from one vendor relationship.
Many districts have minority vendor goals or set-aside requirements. Our OMWBE certification typically satisfies Washington State vendor diversity criteria.
Federal subcontracting often requires a percentage of work go to certified minority-owned firms. Our DBE certification qualifies us for those subcontracts.
Grant funders increasingly require documented supplier diversity. Working with a certified vendor strengthens your grant reporting and DEI metrics.
Corporate supplier diversity programs often have annual spend targets with certified MBE vendors. We help meet those targets with quality web and brand work.
City and county procurement often gives preference or set-aside status to certified vendors. King County approval extends our local public-sector reach.
Working with a founder rooted in community work, Charell also runs the Young Minds Chess Foundation, means cultural alignment, not just compliance.

"The certifications matter. The work matters more."
We answer the phone. We hit deadlines. We bring web design, brand identity, IT support, and STEM workshop facilitation under one roof, so when your school district or community organization needs more than a website, you don't need a second vendor.
Charell is also a published author (AstroChess), a Past Worshipful Master in Freemasonry, and a certified Youth Mental Health First Aid responder. The work spans technology, education, and community, because real impact rarely fits in one column.
