What It Means to Work With a COBID-Certified Design Agency in Oregon

We’re excited to share that Stylechilde is now officially a COBID-Certified business through the State of Oregon. For us, this is more than a business milestone, it reflects our commitment to accessibility, representation, and supporting diverse voices in the creative industry.

COBID (Certification Office for Business Inclusion & Diversity) certification is designed to expand opportunities for women-owned, minority-owned, and small businesses. Many public agencies, school districts, nonprofits, and mission-driven private companies actively look for COBID-certified partners when awarding contracts. So this certification helps bridge the gap between organizations who want to hire inclusive vendors and the businesses who are prepared to collaborate meaningfully.

Benefits of Working With a COBID-Certified Creative Agency

If your organization is looking to expand supplier diversity or meet equity goals, partnering with a COBID-certified business allows you to:

• Support equitable business participation in Oregon
  
• Work with local, community-centered creative professionals
  
• Build project teams that reflect the communities they serve
  
• Meet procurement or grant requirements aligned with DEI values

For us, this isn’t just about eligibility, it’s about impact. When more voices and perspectives shape the messages we create, our communities benefit.
