About Us

We're an activist-run digital services collective.

We are a group of progressive corporate workers who want to share their skills with the world, particularly those who need it most. We work from an ethical, mutually responsive, and anti-capitalist lens, and we view all labor as skilled labor. Sliding scale costs are provided for all of our services, and all of our members split the proceeds evenly: hence our existence as a collective rather than a corporation.

Our Story

As humans rooted in our values, we don't sacrifice our ideologies, methods, or practices for anything. Not even funding. It's the philosophy rooted into the very creation of Making Biscuits. Many folks in our collective are working on projects as an add-on to their current full-time day job.

"They say technology drives change, but change can be both positive and negative. Positive change in a status-quo world is resistance. To create positive change requires sacrificing comfort: a sacrifice many in the tech industry will never be willing to take."

Our "Biscuits"

In the digital world, cookies have become synonymous with tracking, data collection, and capitalist market manipulation. They leave a trail, gathering information about people, and manipulating the information on our screens for their own benefit.

We're redefining pastries in the tech world with the term "biscuit" – a warm, comforting alternative to the cold, impersonal cookie. Our approach is about providing essential support and functionality, but with a focus on ethical practices and respect for your privacy: even if it doesn't get us the most $$$ in return.

Authenticity

We value authenticity to the highest degree. Transparency and honesty are rooted at the core of our philosophies, and we don't think we can create meaningful work without it.

Making Biscuits Collective values real-world experiences and empirical truth over theory and status quo practices.

Equity

We understand that people, organizations, and businesses are all different. Everyone has different needs, and that's why we practice equity across all our interactions, sectors, and solutions.

Something that works for one organization may not work for yours. And sometimes, things change.

Innovation

Our philosophy is to be bold and curious, learning from our wins and losses. We value learning and education, and we believe that the best solutions often come from new ideas.

We understand that history repeats itself sometimes, but there are a lot of times when we know that it shouldn't. Learning from your mistakes is the best way to grow.

Compassion

We're here to listen, advise, and provide solutions that work best for you. Our focus was never even on the money to begin with, and we're not looking to maximize our dollar value.

Instead, we're here because we want to be. Many of our collective members have full-time day jobs that support their day-to-day living and lifestyle, giving us the freedom to create the best solution for you without money on the mind.

Diversity

Having a diverse and inclusive team is essential to our work. It's no secret that diversity creates multiple different perspectives, and innovation is fostered in an environment where multiple different perspectives truly thrive.
