Great design for the greater good
Pixel Parlor is a woman-owned multi-disciplinary design studio and Certified B Corp. We help purpose-driven clients tell inspiring stories that create positive change.
Our Story
In 2012, wife and husband team Jenn Richey Nicholas and Andrew Nicholas turned their wealth of industry experience and love of making things with people into a business. They knew from the beginning that success meant more than growing a profitable design studio. They wanted to express their commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility through their business practices, studio culture, and community involvement.
Now, Jenn is leading Pixel Parlor into its next chapter as CEO. The studio continues to grow and attract a talented crew of creatives, designers, and artists who want to help clients make lasting connections with their audience and actively take part in a global movement of people using business as a force for good.

We’re a Proud Certified B-Corp
B-Corp Certification is a rigorous process that assesses a business’s positive impact on the community and the environment. B-Corps form a global community committed to doing well by doing good. That means we measure success on a triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit. In 2017, 2018, and 2019, B Lab, the nonprofit who oversees certification, honored us as a “Best for the World” Changemaker. We are also a proud member of the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia (SBN). Our Co-Founder and CEO, Jenn Richey Nicholas, serves on SBN’s Board of Directors.
We invite our team, clients, and community to participate in this greater mission, and we love collaborating with other like-minded businesses and organizations who share our commitment to sustainability and social justice.
Recognizing the role we play as a business and as people in building a brighter future for our neighborhood, city, and beyond is the heartbeat of our studio. It energizes our work helping you discover the heart of your story.
Corporate Giving Pledge
Pixel Parlor has an annual giving goal of donating 5% of profit to support mission-aligned not-for-profits and purpose-driven businesses and amplify their impact.
We do this through charitable donations, volunteering, providing pro-bono services, sponsoring organizations that we align with, and through our Brand Grant program that provides pro-bono design services to organizations and purpose driven businesses making a positive impact in our community.

Let’s Work Together
We have a tendency to take on smaller projects that then become larger initiatives. There’s no project too big or too small for us. We’d love to hear what you have cooking.
