Mediocre Creative

Every now and then, we take a break from client work to make something for ourselves. It’s not always fast, but it’s always fun. Call it practice, skill-building, or creative self-care — there’s value in creating without an audience. So, if you see one of us on the road, say hi. Better yet, grab a bike and join in.

Whether we’re in the office or at home, music is always in the background. But some songs are too good to keep to yourself. We put together a playlist of every song we’ve shared in Slack so far this year. Listen to the greatest hits or dive deep at the link in our bio — then let us know what you’ve been listening to.

Spotlight on Susan🌟
Susan is our newest Project Manager and she fits right in. We’re grateful to have her on our team. Get to know her, read her bio:

“Existential crises are born of writing about yourself. In spite of that, Susan thrives on adventure, chaos, and pedantry. Horses, backpacking, knitting, and gaming rule most of her time, and she will absolutely stop to look at every flower she passes along the way. Please do not turn on the light.”

Garrett has joined the chat🥳
Garrett supports our team with unique development projects. We can't wait to see everything he'll accomplish. Here’s more from the source:

“Garrett thought he'd left his hard hat days behind when he traded concrete for code. Fate, with its twisted sense of humor, had other plans. The day Garrett became a homeowner, he realized his construction past wasn't so past after all. Now he toggles between debugging software and actual bugs in his crawl space. His toolbox, once gathering dust, has become his most-used IDE. When not juggling semicolons at work and sagging gutters at home, Garrett can be found muttering about the irony of building virtual houses all day only to come home to a real one falling apart.”

The Stevie Machine💪
Meet Stevie, who came on board last year as our Creative Director. She holds our team accountable on quality, strategy, and intentional design. Here’s something she wants you to know:

“12-year-old Muggins only barks at one thing—cows. Stevie heard the bark and looked up from her laptop, only to find that a herd of the beasts was swiftly making its way down the canyon, across the creek and into her campsite. She got Muggins in the door just in time to watch the herd part and surge past the Airstream like a sea of fish. Miraculously, the Starlink survived. No Zoom meetings were canceled.”

Everything’s coming up Paris🤠
Paris is the newest Designer to join our team, but she's still been here for over a year. We're lucky to have her with us, as her bio demonstrates:

“Paris Triantafilou is a crime of the heart. She is a jack-o'lantern carved to look like your worst nightmare: a spider. She is the bruise on your shin that you don't remember getting. She is a lizard and a parrot; unlikely friends. She is glow-in-the-dark mini golf. She is a bowl of spaghetti sitting on the forest floor: possible bigfoot trap? She is an enigma inside of a goblin inside of a mummy's tomb. Paris Triantafilou does not exist.”

Making good work is about more than the end product. Our 2023 impact report dives into what we did last year and the impacts of what we made – on our team, our planet, our community, and our clients. 🌎🚲🤝

We took on Love to Ride's Bike Month challenge, and logged 858 miles in May. Equally important: we all wore helmets.
