Culture at Rareform

Who We Are

We are a small team of collaborative people. We believe that every role is important and valuable in accomplishing our mission, and we strive to make all people feel welcome and heard.

Our founders work in the office with us every day. It is their passion, drive, and contagious confidence that are the foundation of Rareform’s success. Our team is approachable, hands on, and high performance. Each team member is empowered to grow and achieve their full potential in a supportive and encouraging environment. We are firm believers that opportunity will come to those who are looking for it.We encourage our team members to problem solve, seek creative solutions, and spearhead change—the more you grow, the more we grow.

Our work is fast-paced and ever-changing, which makes Rareform an exciting place to be. Positivity is promoted and playfulness is encouraged. We don’t take ourselves too seriously; rather, we understand that success comes through mistakes and the flexibility to learn!

At the end of the day, our mission at Rareform is to do right by our people, planet, and partners by creating goods that bring vibrancy, sustainability, and practicality into everyday life

What We're Working to Become

Better At Recognizing and Celebrating Team Achievments

We want to continue to grow the camaraderie on our team. Our team does amazing things, but because our work doesn't always overlap with everyone, some achievements can go unnoticed. We want to create a process for more awknoledgement and more celebration of our teams' victories!

More Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Across The Board

Our bags are sustainable and so is our mission, but we want to hold more integrity when it comes to our sustainability! We want it to be present in all facets of our company, including the parts that only people on the inside see, like our office habits and even home habits too.

More Intentional About Diversity

We can say that we care about diversity as often as we want, but until we take intentional steps to educate ourselves, diversify our workplace, and become a diversity-friendly space, our words will mean nothing. We recognize that this is something we are still growing in, but we want to hold ourselves accountable and commit to doing the work toward change. We want to be better at recognizing the value of diversity in race, gender, sexuality, class, belief, background, and thought.

Tips From the Team!

"Show kindness and respect to everyone! Be willing to adapt and learn quickly."

"If you identify a problem, come prepared with potential solutions as well."

"Give immediate feedback to teammates with the intention of professional improvement."

"Know that it's important to overcommunicate! This helps keep us organized and on-track."

"Don't take a project from Point A to Point B. Take it from Point A to Point Z."

"If you don't know, ask. Lunch is whenever you want it to be. Take advantage of the resources and expertise of those around you."

"We very much have an 'if you notice it, fix it' policy - aka speak up if something seems off to you! You may not have the solution, but it's always better to get on top of a solution early on."

"Get familiar with Asana!!! It will be your new BFF :)"
