“10 Thousand is an ideal partner for us to address a complex design challenge in a sophisticated and accessible way,” said Annie Rohan, director, external relations, Stanford PACS. “As we grow and evolve as a leading academic Center with a mission to bring together scholars, practitioners, and leaders in philanthropy and social innovation, we look forward to our new brand identity – one that will represent us as a rigorous, inspirational, and also practically accessible academic center.”

“We’re excited to work with such a well-regarded organization and develop a robust, refined system that reflects its values and philosophy,” said Ed Bennett, founder & executive design director, 10 Thousand Design.
