In the video below, we are sharing instead, and with permission, one of the more extraordinary life events in the life of our firm; it’s a video about a colleague’s triumph over illness.

Squirrelly excuse! A few weeks ago, the following email sequence appeared in our inboxes (note: Michelle is our office manager, Kelly and Brett are senior designers, Hayden is the account manager who you might remember from Opening Day of the baseball season last year): Michele Mitchell: Kelly is running late because he has a squirrel…
