about

Our Team

small but mighty

Some of us found our way out West and some of us sprung up straight from the foothills of the Wasatch Front, but all of us call Utah home. Founded in Salt Lake City in 2005 by Troy Mumm and Jocelyn Kearl, Third Sun has helped hundreds of clients with web design, branding, and messaging.

We have grown into a small but mighty group of people who strive to stay curious and seek out new ideas and better processes. We aren’t perfect but we genuinely care about our clients, our work, our team, and our community. It doesn’t get much better than working with dedicated people who bring their best to the table for the common good.

our culture

what drives us

Work hard. Be honest. Do good.

These values drive our work every day. We take the time to get to know our clients and identify your voice, needs, and audience. We want to understand your passion, suss out your messaging, and then help you elevate it. We support and empower our clients to be confident in managing their brands and websites — because we genuinely care about your success.

Great design is simple, beautiful, accessible.

We believe good design is on purpose, a conscious effort to solve problems and connect real people to something that moves them. Creative work is a process of research, brainstorms, iteration, and refinement; often it’s never really done but it’s the intentional effort and timely evolution that meet the needs for that moment.

We take structure, usability, and accessibility seriously. We have a personal approach ー no templates, no chatbots, or other outsourced junk that separates us from building relationships directly our clients.

Better websites build a better community.

There are endless sizes and types of organizations, and we are in our sweet spot when we’re working with nonprofits and local entrepreneurs in Utah and beyond. We help refine communication and messaging so clients can connect with their audiences in a meaningful way.

We get excited about doing good things in our community, and we’re fans of so many others in our community who feel that way, too. We work hard to provide quality services and support so that clients can focus on what they are good at and make our world just a little bit better.

Designing for Good (and Fun)

Living and working in an ever-evolving Salt Lake City allows us to be surrounded a community that truly thrives when its everyone pitches in to make it better. Inspired by many others who’ve come before us, we have several projects that we have created to contribute to what we think makes SLC a great place to live:

  • Make Your Own Luck
    The key to our work and our personal happiness is our community. We know networking events can be the thing that we all hate, but the truth is, sometimes being in person makes magic happen, so Third Sun is hosting this bi-monthly event for clients, friends, and new friends!
  • Utah Ale Trail
    A never-ending quest to find a great place to hang out with great people, showcasing Utah’s eclectic breweries and burgeoning beer scene. We host seasonal events like the Fall Crawl with passports and prizes, because we love an excuse to raise a glass with friends!

Community Sponsorships

Since the beginning, we’ve provided hundreds of hours and dozens of websites in-kind to nonprofit organizations in Utah. Here's a sample of some of the partners we support through sponsorships:

  • Utah Arts Festival
  • Ogden Friends of Acoustic Music
  • TEDx Salt Lake City
  • Utah Pride Festival

We also provide in-kind or discounted services to many other nonprofit organizations in Utah.
