We are excited to share that, as of October 2025, TBD Creatives has officially launched as its own nonprofit organization — complete with a new look, a refreshed website, and a renewed commitment to the mission that started it all.
For years, TBD Creatives has been quietly growing from a simple idea into a community of makers, dreamers, and doers who believe enterprise can be a force for good. Today, that belief stands at the center of everything we do.
Our mission is simple, but powerful:
TBD Creatives, Inc. exists to harness the power of enterprise as a force for good—launching self-sustaining ventures that provide dignified employment to overlooked and under-resourced neighbors.
We’re building businesses that do more than sell products — they build futures. Every candle poured, every thrifted item sold, every creative venture we launch is part of a bigger vision for our city:
A thriving Oklahoma City where every individual has access to meaningful work, dignity, and the opportunity to shape their own future.
What’s New
Our new branding and website reflect not just a visual evolution, but a deepened sense of purpose. You’ll see it in our design — clean, hopeful, and human-centered — and you’ll feel it in our stories, highlighting the people and partners who make this work possible.
Each of our initiatives, both TBD Home and TBD Thrift, are an expression of what happens when creativity meets compassion, when operating a business has a deeper meaning and a primary focus of empowering the lives of our employees.
What Guides Us
At the heart of TBD Creatives are five core values that shape every decision, relationship, and product we create:
-
People First, Especially Our Neighbors
We build businesses that carry hope, dignity, and opportunity into the heart of our city — putting our overlooked and under-resourced neighbors at the center of our work. -
Agency as the Goal
Everyone deserves the chance to hold the pen to their own story. Our job is to help clear the barriers and open the pages so they can write a future they choose. -
Better Together
We are a community project in the truest sense — customers, donors, and neighbors all linked in shared purpose. Transformation happens when we build side by side. -
Enough for Everyone
We reject scarcity. We’re building a world where success is shared, resources are sufficient, and everyone has what they need to thrive. -
Peacemaking in Practice
We work to repair what’s broken — from inequitable systems to unsustainable practices — creating spaces where people from every walk of life can meet, work, and grow together.
Looking Ahead
The journey ahead is about more than growth — it’s about impact. It’s about proving that business can do good, that community can drive change, and that together, we can build a city where everyone belongs and everyone contributes.
We invite you to explore our new website, learn about our current initiatives and join us in this next chapter of creativity, purpose, and community-building.
Join us and lets Create Good for everyone.
