ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A QUIRKY COUPLE WHO BOTH WENT TO ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL…

After spending years as cad-monkeys and staring at spreadsheets, we realized we had been duped by our design educations. Feeling let down by the corporate world and lack of opportunities for creativity, we left to pursue our dream of living slow and tiny.

For a decade we lived in our camper van while traveling state to state on the art festival circuit. We met folks from all walks of life, and spent many a night in parking lots and back country roads. We developed our aluminum can moving mosaics into carefully handcrafted transformations representing our progressive values and desire for effortless earth stewardship.

We have poured our creative hearts into being authentic, engaging, and entertaining social media content creators working with @TikTokForGood, @BallAluminumCup, and @DrinkSpindrift to inspire people to view waste as a resource while reminding them to treat the planet and everyone on it with dignity and respect.

More than anything, we want everything we create, but especially our moving mosaics, to help you slow down, take a deep breath, and notice the little things in life, so that you will feel less distracted by the troubles of our world, and more inspired to treat yourself and the earth well.
