Changing How to Build Homes with Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is known for using volunteer labor and donations to build homes, but the traditional method wasn’t sustainable due to high long-term costs for heating and maintaining the homes.
How We Did It

Building a Scalable Content Engine with Sephora

Challenge
Sephora needed to build an external production team that could feel fully embedded—integrated into their daily workflows, processes, and pace—while supporting campaign and social content across the calendar year.
Our Approach
We began by taking the time to deeply understand Sephora’s internal structure, production workflows, and team dynamics. From there, we led a vendor search, assessed capabilities and curated a team that could plug into their existing world seamlessly–collaborating as if they were in-house.
Impact
The in-house team has now been running for over 3 years, consistently producing content that meets Sephora’s high brand standards and schedule. This setup has provided Sephora with a flexible, reliable extension of their internal production arm that scales to meet their needs throughout the year.

Accelerating Production at Scale with Kohler

Challenge
Kohler needed to speed up the production of eCommerce assets for platforms like Amazon and other online retail marketplaces, while maintaining high visual quality and accuracy across a massive product range.
Our Approach
We partnered closely with Kohler’s internal team to understand their technical and creative needs, then led a global vendor search and vetting process. We created a pilot program with six partners, testing renders, budgets and turnaround times.

To ensure the best fit, we developed a system and scorecard to evaluate performance on speed, communication, and adaptability. Once down to two final partners, we stress tested them based on how well they integrated into Kohler’s existing workflow.

Emphasizing transparency and alignment throughout the whole process, we ensured every partner clearly understood the goals, expectations, and standards required to be part of this transformation. After the final assessment, one supplier was awarded the work and formally moved through Kohler’s procurement process—setting the foundation for a new, scalable content pipeline.
Impact
Kohler now has a trusted partner who delivers high-quality renders faster than ever. The new, scalable content pipeline has exceeded performance expectations, unlocking internal efficiencies and speeding up the production process.

Changing How to Build Homes with Habitat for Humanity

Challenge
Habitat for Humanity is known for using volunteer labor and donations to build homes, but the traditional method wasn’t sustainable due to high long-term costs for heating and maintaining the homes. Our goal was to find a more cost-effective and energy-efficient building method that would benefit homeowners in the long run.
Our Approach
We introduced the Passive House model, working with an architect to design an energy-efficient home based on the family’s needs and Habitat’s constraints. This approach–while more affordable and sustainable for low-income families–was completely new to the Habitat team who relied on Makers to help guide the process.

Over two years, Makers led the project, bringing on specialized partners and championing a new approach to Habitat’s construction. One of the biggest changes was prefabricating the main walls off-site, which reduced the assembly time to just 3 days compared to 3+ weeks for a traditional build. Volunteers then helped with the interior which kept the essence of the Habitat model alive.
Impact
This new method revolutionized Habitat's approach, introducing a new model for homes to be more energy-efficient and reducing long-term costs for homeowners. The Passive House model provides lasting value while keeping build costs the same as traditional methods, setting the stage for more sustainable, cost-effective homes in the future.
