Here's where you get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how we do what we do at the world's most Plaid design and branding firm.

Construction continues. The shell is done!
They've completed what is essentially the shell to our new addition. The roof is up, and walls complete. Windows have been ordered, and should be here by next week. We've met with the electrician to discuss ethernet drops, power outlets and phones.
So far, it looks like we're on schedule to be complete by end of January/early February. We're getting excited - and our existing space is getting tight. We now have one desk that's shared by THREE part-timers, and we'll have a new hire starting in the next few months, too. We need this space, bad.
We've prepared our annual Plaid holiday cards, and dropped them at the post office for delivery. The post office hates us.
This year's card is especially special. Like an after school Christmas special. Read whatever you want into that.
If you're on our list, keep an eye on your mailbox this week, and be sure that your mailman is extremely careful with our delicate and important package.
They delivered lumber for the first stage of our addition. Because our space is located on the roof of our building, they had to bring everything up on a crane. Kind of exciting for a bunch of creative people. I'm sure we didn't get in the way or annoy the construction dudes at all. They're probably used to people dancing around, with digital and video cameras.
They moved our patio to the other side of our space, and it's going to look great. The framers began laying out the floor joists, and next week (snow permitting), they'll frame out what will become our new account services area!
