Mately - Ethical Design Co.

Based in New York City, Mately is a profit-for-purpose company that offers a revolutionary STD testing service to its members.

Mately combines home collection, ID checks, advanced lab testing, and dating app integration.

The brief

Mately hired us for several years to work closely with their team to design a series of 30+ page pitch decks and investor summary slides tailored at securing seed funding.

We also worked on a number of complex infographics and custom icons and illustrations, and supported Mately with their crowdfunding campaign, influencer campaign and other marketing efforts.

How is this ethical?

Mately is disrupting the health industry with their advanced Early-Detection FDA-approved STD testing service. STDs are a huge and increasing problem in many parts of the world and Mately are hoping to stop these diseases in their tracks by removing the stigma from STDs and allowing people to share their status within the dating world.

“I initially located Sonja because I was in the market for a “long form” graphic designer, meaning someone who wasn’t going to balk at designing long documents, such as pitch decks and business plans. She delivered on this account in spades. Sonja has worked closely with me in designing our circa 30-page pitch deck, investor summary slides, and other multi-page presentations needed to pitch key partners. She also designed, top to bottom, our crowd funding page. Sonja is an incredible designer, but she also is a great instructor too – showing me some key features of Adobe InDesign that have saved me time and money and allowed me to make small changes myself.” – Brandon Greenberg, Founder/CEO
