Platform

Wondering where we’ve been?… 👀Don’t worry! Platform is still here!

Some of the team members have gone through a major move to a new city! James, Patrick, and Rachel have all made the jump to Chicago (comment if you can tell where they are) so it has been quite a transitional season!

Don’t worry, we’ll get Gabe here soon 😉 (currently pictured in North Carolina).

But now we’re back and ready to share some unconventional art with you, our unconventional audience. 😁

Gear up for an amazing new year…
