A Brief Story About The HumanUp Project

Our story begins more than 20 years ago, as each of our founders and team members started their journey into leadership, operations, graphic design, and human resources. We each developed a passion for leading and inspiring others, and through years of training, building teams, and, admittedly, making some mistakes along the way - we discovered that together, we are better.

After many late-night chats (that included a couple glasses of wine, leadership and entrepreneurial books, TED talks, and lots of story-telling) The HumanUp Project was born.

We are passionate about helping others build their business through their people.

We believe actual, hands-on experience is an asset that needs to be valued.

We get it, as we have been there, with dirty hands and sore feet.

We aren’t afraid to take risks, but we always plan ahead.

We are a team of award winners. We are advocates for health and humanity. And, we are just overall good people.
