“The work is judged by what it does for the people you serve. Not by how loud we are about doing it.”

– Kat Green

Owner & President

Why we exist

You’re doing work only your team can do. We’ve got the digital side.

Public-good work is hard. Tighter budgets, wider audiences, higher stakes.

When a site breaks, it's not an inconvenience. It's a constituent who can't apply, a student who can't enroll, a patient who can't find the hours.

And the work itself is the kind only your team can do.

The people you serve are counting on you to do it well.

That's the work we want to support.

What we bring

Six principles we won’t bend.

Constraints on how we work, not slogans. Skip any one and the rest break with it.

01How we start

Curiosity

We learn the world you serve before we touch the one we'll build. Public-good organizations don't fit a template, and we don't pretend they do.

02How we communicate

Honesty

Public-good work runs on trust. You'll always know where the build stands, what's working, what isn't, and what we'd do next if it were ours.

03How we work

Care

Every screen, every interaction, every line of code is treated like someone depends on it. Because someone does.

04How we give

Generosity

Our time, our experience, our judgment, shared without a meter running. The people you serve never feel like a line item, and neither should you.

05How we stay

Stewardship

Launch isn't a finish line. We keep the digital worlds we build running for the long haul, because the missions they support don't pause for maintenance windows.

06How we carry ourselves

Humility

No ego in the work. The people you serve are the ones who matter, and the work is judged by what it does for them.

Who you’ll work with

The hands that shape your digital world.

The people who shape your digital world are the people you’ll talk to about it. No reassignment after kickoff, no junior taking the call when something needs a second look three weeks before audit.

  • Every agency needs someone making sure the foundation holds. That's what Kat does. As Owner and President of Materiell, she brings over 20 years of financial strategy and operational leadership to every decision she makes. Kat reads a financial landscape the way most people read a room, spotting growth opportunities early and flagging risks before they surface. That foresight keeps Materiell and its clients anticipating problems rather than reacting to them, which is a better place to be in any market.

    Personally

    A mother of two who loves to cook, get lost in a good book, and wander through art museums and farmers markets. Kat takes in the details everywhere she goes, which is probably why she's so good at spotting them at work.

  • Materiell was built on a principle most agencies talk about but few practice: treat every client like they're your only one. Over 20+ years in the Washington, DC area, Susan has served enterprise, government, non-profit, education, and legal clients all to the same standard of attention. She has managed hundreds of website projects with a delivery record she'll put up against anyone's, on time and on budget every single time. That consistency comes from treating every project like it matters, because it does. Susan holds a Google Cloud Sales Credential.

    Personally

    When Susan commits, she commits completely. That goes for her family, her clients, and the San Francisco 49ers, a devotion that surprises no one who knows her.

  • The difference between a good project and a great one is whether someone is watching every detail on your behalf. With eighteen years of account management experience, Laura manages complex, multi-year engagements across sales, marketing, higher education, and publishing as the single point of contact who holds the full picture for every client. You never have to explain your project twice. She led Materiell's first federal contract with the Social Security Administration and drives the company's RFP and proposal process. Laura holds a Google Cloud Sales Credential.

    Personally

    Before account management, Laura competed as a professional alpine skier. These days she channels that same precision into archery, and her aim, in every sense of the word, has only gotten sharper.

  • The best operations work is the kind nobody notices. No bottlenecks, no surprises, no scrambling. With eight-plus years of operations leadership, Jess designs workflows, coordinates cross-functional teams, and builds the infrastructure that keeps every engagement on track from kickoff through delivery. As Operations Director at Materiell, she translates business objectives into execution plans that teams can actually follow, not strategy documents that collect dust in a folder. Jess holds a Leadership Essentials Certification from Cornell University.

    Personally

    Growing up playing mandolin and guitar in her family's bluegrass band gave Jess a sense of timing she still carries into how she runs operations. Knowing when to push, when to hold, and how to keep everyone in sync. Away from work, she runs a local book club.

  • Accessible design and beautiful design are the same thing. Over a decade at Materiell, that conviction has shaped every project Deven has led as Creative Director. He builds digital experiences that meet 508 and WCAG standards from the first sketch. Not as a compliance checkbox, but because inclusive work and thoughtful work have always been the same thing to him. Deven also leads hands-on CMS training for clients and development teams so no one is left guessing after launch. He holds a Google Cloud Sales Credential.

    Personally

    When not designing, Deven is most likely on a kayak with his dog Noa, a partnership he'd been dreaming up long before he had either. He brings that same eye to travel, bookmarking a restaurant years in advance and making sure it delivers.

  • Most developers build for the brief in front of them. Jeremy builds for the one you haven't written yet. After 10+ years leading development at Materiell across Payload, WordPress, and Craft, he knows the difference between what a project needs now and what it will need next, and he designs systems that hold up as both evolve. Jeremy communicates clearly at every stage so you always know where things stand. Whether the question is about architecture or a single line of code, he tells you what's happening and why.

    Personally

    A devoted Arizona Diamondbacks fan who tracks every stat and never misses spring training, Jeremy brings that same intensity to new frameworks and tools. He's usually three tutorials deep before anyone else has heard of them.
