Did you know? Agile organizations are four times more likely to support creativity and ten times more likely to support taking risks. 🐝

That's why we were thrilled to partner with CloudBees , a software delivery platform aimed at making work streams and deployment more agile for developers and their teams. Through a brand identity refresh, and a whole new website, we celebrated creativity by engaging our senses both visually and verbally β€” using creative storytelling to communicate the best of our client's offerings to developers and teams. .

More importantly, Hockney has given us an imagery through which we can begin to understand the white gay male experience in 1970s Los Angeles.

What I love about the bromance between Warhol and Basquiat, is the relationship between two characters who ignored convention and just refused to fit neatly into any prescribed box. They were highly individualistic, and it wasn’t just a brand β€” it was their essence. They just refused to be put in a box. It’s incredibly refreshing.

A shoutout to my Latin community, as we kick off the series with Walter Mercado's natural charisma, unapologetic self-expression, flair for fashion, and deep knowledge of spirituality. Thank you, legend, for the many times that you've made us all feel seen. His androgynous look also paved representation for the LGBTQ+ community, encouraging people to be whoever they wanted to be.For those of you who love fashun, as much as I do β€” swipe to see a few looks Walter surely would have approved of.
