Frequently asked questions

Our favorite clients axolotl questions.

Why an axolotl?

The axolotl is native to Mexico and has deep roots in Aztec mythology, symbolizing resilience, regeneration, and transformation. As a Mexican American, our founder chose the axolotl to represent the values that guide our work: honoring indigenous knowledge, resisting assimilation, and creating systems that can heal and renew.

Where are you based?

Our founder splits her time between Washington, DC and Texas, but her work spans the globe. She has collaborated with teams across regions and time zones, and has yet to meet a time difference she could not handle.

Do you only work with large organizations?

Not at all. Some of the most impactful organizations are small teams doing big things on limited budgets. We design frameworks, evaluations, and reports that scale to your resources, because telling your impact story should never be a luxury.

How flexible are your prices?

The prices listed on our site are starting points. We know every organization’s needs and resources are different, so we adjust our approach to fit your context. The best way to explore options is to book a consultation.

What frameworks do you use?

We are fluent in widely recognized approaches such as Impact Frontiers (formerly the Impact Management Project), theory of change, IRIS+, Social Return on Investment (SROI), the Operating Principles for Impact Management and the Sustainable Development Goals. We do not believe in one size fits all. We tailor frameworks so they reflect your organization’s reality and are actionable for your team.

Do you work in languages other than English?

Yes. Our founder works in both English and French, and our extended team speaks a total of ten languages: English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Wolof, Cape Verdean Creole, Italian, Indonesian Bahasa, and Vietnamese. This diversity of languages helps us adapt our work across regions and contexts.

Are you comfortable ghost-writing?

Yes! We specialize in helping organizations communicate their impact in their own voice. Our founder truly enjoys learning how to express your story in a way that feels authentic to your brand. Her name does not need to appear anywhere. It is your impact, and we make sure it shines.
