  Monica Little
CEO, Little & Company
Monica Little established Little & Company in 1979. Guided by Monica’s vision and direction for three decades, the company serves a growing client roster that includes Target Corporation, Microsoft, Landscape Structures, Way to Grow and Wells Fargo.

Today, Little & Company is a team of 55 that is dedicated to delivering Smart Design, a simple notion that has earned the company recognition from notable sources such as New York Art Directors Club, AIGA, American Advertising Federation, Communication Arts, Print, Graphis, HOW, Step Inside Design and I.D.

Monica built Little & Company on a foundation of six core values: integrity, creativity, collaboration, accountability, harmony and joy of life. Every team member understands these values. Every team member embraces them.

In alignment with these values, Monica is also wholeheartedly committed to community giving. In addition to serving on nonprofit boards and committees, she donates 5 percent of Little & Company pretax earnings to charitable causes. This has allowed the firm to enjoy a long-standing membership in the Minnesota Keystone Program, an organization that recognizes and honors companies that donate at least 2 percent of their pretax earnings to the community. Monica’s particular interest in early childhood education was the impetus behind a more recent and ongoing partnership with a local organization, Way to Grow. Her personal mission is to “inspire everyone to give back to the community.”

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of her company, Monica established the Little & Company Design Scholarship for talented students at her alma mater, the Minnesota College of Art and Design.
