TJ is Factor3's resident digital marketing guru. He started his career in finance but was lured away by the ever-evolving marketing industry. After college, he worked at a marketing agency and media company in Times Square for years before answering the call to head up marketing for a DC-based start-up. Despite his marketing strategy, that startup was very successful (one of his favorite jokes). Luckily for Factor3, that company eventually sold to Apple and TJ decided to start a marketing firm and, eventually, to partner with us on a broad cross-section of digital marketing services, from marketing strategy to analytics to ad buys. While TJ has worn many different hats, his focus has never changed—to create marketing that actually works. He's also a closet designer, so you can expect his presentations and dashboards to look fabulous. TJ lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and three young kids.

Arielle is a Brooklyn-based designer who loves spending her time working on creative projects in coffee shops. She has a BFA in Communication Design with a concentration in Graphic Design from Pratt Institute. She enjoys working on a wide range of projects—including brand identity, logos, websites, and icon design—and her favorite projects include book design and typesetting.

We believe that nonprofits and companies seeking to do good in the world shouldn't be intimidated by the perceived complexities of the digital ecosystem. Giving nonprofits access to a small group of creatives who are just as passionate about their work as they are, and who are willing to empower them with knowledge for their next project, is our goal.

We do this by bringing our talent and expertise to both corporate and nonprofit clients. Our corporate clients love us because they get the benefit of a small boutique firm that is highly responsive, streamlined, and results-driven. And our nonprofit clients love the fact that our corporate partners subsidize our nonprofit work by helping us to keep our (lower) rates affordable for smaller, mission-driven organizations.

“We have relied on Factor3 as a go-to graphic design resource since 2012. Their experience, creativity, and professional savvy help us exceed our clients’ expectations every time. As a small business owner, I know I can count on Factor3 to be mindful of my deadlines, budget, and client sensitivities. We will continue to count on them for our creative needs; they makes us look good and are a pleasure to work with.”

Margie Newman, Founding Partner Intesa Communications

“Factor3 has been an amazing design resource for NSBA for more than three years. They are quick to grasp an understanding of a project and its desired outcome, talented in taking discussion points and turning them into design, and speedy in responding to any client edits. Besides from the technical expertise they exhibit, they are a pleasure to collaborate and work with. They are everything a client wants in a design firm- talented, smart, responsive”
