Bandit is a lazy English Bull Terrier and is the official team mascot. He flies in the main cabin of airlplanes and attends lifestyle photo shoots."I like to whine and hop and make funny sounds in the back of Zoom calls until Carrie and Brad feed me treats." - Bandit
Smokey is an energetic Pomsky with an optimistic goal of being promoted to Alpha one day. "Weighing in 30 pounds less than Bandit, I hold the responsibility of going under couches and chairs to get our missing balls and toys (which make me a valuable team player.)" - Smokey

"I really enjoy working both on and off the computer while inventing new ways to tell stories through the prism of art and design. When I'm not creating in the studio or on a Zoom call - I'm working in the garden, snuggling with Smokey and Bandit, cooking colorful recipes, and planning our next trip. I love the freedom that owning our own business has given us and I want to help our customers and clients thrive."
