Our 2020 Annual Report is out!

 
 

We consider our annual report to be a work of art! The beautiful part about creating art is that you can continually edit your drafts while also enjoying and taking in each iteration — enjoying and being present with the process.

Below, we want to share with you all a bit about our process + to give lots of love to our team behind it all!   

The Beginning

It started off as an idea which then turned into a mood board + working google doc. We sent our board + doc to our dear family member & fantastic Graphic Designer, Simon Legaspi in October 2020. We wanted the theme to be reflective of how much we shifted to virtual platforms so we included emojis, hashtags, and other elements that reflected the social platforms we were predominantly using (ex: Zoom and Instagram).

We received our first draft from Simon — he provided the framework and design and we loved how he turned our mood board to life!

Then we began the editing process! From big to small shifts. We began filling in space, adding more color, layers, and depth into the pages.

About nine drafts later, we finally said -- boom. This is it!
