Our Vision is to make it possible for everyone to have their stories told.
Telling your story and capturing your vision, honestly and beautifully, is our guiding star. Respecting that story first and foremost, and using a a can-do and collaborative approach to applying our substantial knowledge, skill, experience, creativity, help us create the best possible outcome for our clients.
We take our work, but not ourselves, seriously – that means leaving our egos at the door, while still being professional, consistent, transparent, and honest, in every interaction, all while having fun.
The team at Studio Lumen consists of individuals from a distinct variety of backgrounds, who value and respect every human being, and enjoy learning, creating, and sharing our customers’ stories, big or small. These characteristics all contribute to our success.
Customers of Studio Lumen will understand the power of truthful visual story-telling in helping them connect with their audience, be it their future selves, the public at large, or their existing and potential clients. They will trust our processes in ensuring we understand them and their needs in the way that serves their story best, and let us use our experience and skill to craft our product as an important step in achieving their goals.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. Finally, we acknowledge all Nations – Indigenous and non – who live, work and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory.
1. Humility
I take my work, but not myself, seriously (i.e., we leave our egos at the door - my clients story is more important than my own)
2. Respect
I will give every client the same respect and attention to detail, no matter the job or who they are - everyone has a story worth telling. I will respect my peers and colleagues.
3. Fun
We want our clients to have fun working with us, and we want to have fun with our clients and each other. If something isn't fun, then why are we doing it? Having fun helps our clients share their stories.
4. Consistency
I will follow company policies and workflows when at all possible, so that every client has the same experience. I will pay attention to details that will help with that objective.
5. Change & Innovation
I will learn new skills, systems, techniques, not to wow people with a trendy trick, but to have more tools that can powerfully tell stories. I will be open to new ideas, and serve Studio Lumen’s clients with new ideas of my own.
6. Ownership
I will take ownership of my role. Studio Lumen, through training, and a shared mission, vision, values, has empowered me to make decisions on my own.
7. Transparency
I expect open-ness, fairness, and transparency from my employer, and in return I offer the same. I expect my role and tasks to be clearly defined and explained, but I also will not be afraid to ask if something isn't, so that we do the best possible for our clients.
8. Growth
While my role is clear, I'm empowered to think of ideas and ways for it to be improved, as well as contributing ideas and creativity to improve our services for our clients.
9. Flexibility
I will accept constructive critique of my work from my peers, not getting stuck on my own initial vision. I accept that more eyes and minds than just my own can only improve the final product in serving our customers and telling their story
