Giving Thanks

Giving Thanks

We live such busy lives, we work, we work some more and then if there’s time, we fit in some more work (or at least it feels this way). It’s important to step back from the hustle and look at what we have, instead of always working to fill the void of what we don’t. I want to take this opportunity to say a big Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends down south. And in the spirt of giving thanks…read more

Friday Wrap up – Excited about Art!

Friday Wrap up – Excited about Art!

Keeping in line with our rebranding we wanted to purchase some artwork for the office however we didn’t want what you would find in any other office around Toronto. We pride ourselves on being different so why would we purchase from the same places the masses shop?
