What Our Clients Say

“As a new CEO navigating this historical time in our country, there is an urgency to support and partner with vendors that model and embody equity and social justice. Their ability to center the voices and power of the most marginalized was absolutely gorgeous in the most impactful way. Thank you.”

Chastity Lord, President & CEO, Jeremiah Program
"Not only did SQL listen to our story, our ideas, and our needs, they offered even more suggestions to bring our website to life. The result is a beautiful website that truly captures the spirit of our small business, our story and identities, our goals, and what we offer. We have gotten so many compliments on our website! It has definitely helped seal some deals with potential clients."

Mayra Almaraz, Co-Founder, Critical Learning Collaborative
“When launching a new project, you want to feel confident that your brand identity reflects who you are and the values you represent. Square Lightning became instant partners in our work. Everything we publish is elevated by their passion and commitment to quality and detail.“

Wendy Via, Co-Founder & CEO, Global Project Against Hate & Extremism
“Square Lightning did an incredible job of listening closely to our story and helping us distill down to the most essential elements that could clearly tell our story and mission to the audiences who needed to hear it most. As an organization that prides itself on listening to and centering the voices of families, we knew we needed a partner in this work who valued deep listening and trust building as much as we do and that is exactly what we got. Everything they created – from graphics to text to photography – was top-notch quality and aligned with our values and vision.”
