What makes us tick

It’s quite simple really. We feel energized and gratified by the type of work we get to do. We’re not just communicators—it’s so much deeper than that.

Confessions of a thrift store addict – the environmental, social, and personal impact of second-hand shopping

As early as I can remember my mom would take me thrifting. We’d each go to our respective aisles and meet back at the cash register to unveil our fashion finds. As I’ve gotten older, not much has changed, except I’ve gotten a little more knowledgeable on the items I curate for my closet, and on the environmental, social and personal purpose behind second-hand shopping.


A love affair with Design Week

Design Week my favorite time of the year. Okay, let’s be real, I put ???? at the top of my list. But for sure it’s a close second… or third. ????


Social Media Detox

Nearly everyone I know has a tumultuous relationship with social media. They either love it, hate it, or hate to love it. I’ve heard millennials (like myself) have these mixed feelings about social media because we are nostalgic for life before its existence.
