Summertime 2019 Behind the Scenes

6/13/2019

From the Santa Cruz surf, to the top of Mt. Umunhum, to Seattle, and beyond, 2019 has been an adventure. Here's some of our behind the scenes!

The summer is flying by and, to quote Ferris Bueller, "If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Recent behind the scenes highlights include sponsoring our friends over at New Tech Northwest, watching Cats in San Jose, and School of Rock in Seattle, prepping for Pride, and touring Santa Cruz's hidden gems.

A Word About Generative AI in Regards to
Comms and Creativity

One of the values I bring to my clients is my ability to grasp the "big picture" and align it with the public's current moods, thought patterns, and needs. I believe my specific brain, my heart, my experience, and my personal methodology are what separates me from those who rely on what generative AI feeds them.

I do not use generative AI, nor do I generally endorse its use for writing and creation in public relations, the music industry, or art. To all my fellow comms and creatives out there; stay human!

Land Acknowledgement

Acknowledgement to the southern Lushootseed-speaking Coast Salish Indigenous Peoples whose land I live and work on.

This land also includes the traditional land and waterways of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People of past and present. It is with honor and gratitude to the land itself, the plants, animals, and the Duwamish Tribe that I practice my work.

This land is also on and adjacent to the traditional homelands and waterways of the Puyallup Tribe. The Puyallup people have lived on and stewarded these lands since the beginning of time and continue to do so today. I recognize that this land acknowledgement is one small step toward true allyship, and I commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond.

Personal Statement

It is my hope that we all deepen our understanding, awareness, and relationship to where we live in the world, and that we, individually and as a group, do our part to heal the wounds caused by genocide, enslavement, displacement, and other such atrocities, many of which have been intentionally carried forward into our present day and built into modern systems of power. Here is a list of books that might help you on your way to decolonizing the mind.
