Prism’s Story
Prism’s story is one of risk and authenticity:
two things we can’t seem to separate that have always lead to richer ways of living and being.
It’s easy to look at people and organizations in the middle of their journeys and think “Man, how lucky are they,” but it wasn’t just luck that lead us here…

What’s in a name?
Our name comes from the phenomenon that happens when light passes through a prism: the entire color spectrum becomes visible as a prism slows down light and reflects out all the different colors that comprise the visible light we see all the time. Prism was founded from the belief that if only we can slow down, listen, and be present with people, we can see the many perspectives that emerge and make decisions from there.
Since our inception, we have been about care, respect & intentionality. We aim to bring these principles to everything we do, not because we believe this is good for business, but because we believe it’s good for life.
