What makes a Kohder?

We are a small team, and your behaviours and attitude are just as important as your skills. This is what makes a good Kohder.

• You have a ‘can-do’ attitude and are proactive in advancing projects, large and small. You recognise your role in our collective journey.
• You always seek opportunities for improvement, both individually and collectively. You spot a recurring problem and work with your team to fix it.
• You are hungry; your default is to learn from good and bad experiences and strive to be better, not just turn up. Resting on your laurels doesn’t fulfil you.
• Skill, craft, and organisation are second nature and show up everywhere — from the most significant project down to the smallest task.
• Your approach to design is ego-less. This means you want to get it right, not be right. Your solutions and attitude are what’s best for the client, not what’s best for you. You are receptive to feedback, listen first, collaborate, and gently push back where necessary.
