Our Three Rivers Market project was selected for presentation at PechaKucha Knoxville, Vol.4 on 11-11-11. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. With events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, it provides an outlet for local designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. Check out our 400 second presentation below.

1st annual Count Your Blessings Turkey Dinner - as we reflect on all the good things that have happened in our lives and as a small business this year, we decided to share our blessings with others. We contacted the Salvation Army to find a needy family who would otherwise go without a special home-cooked Thanksgiving meal. We all chipped in and prepared a full meal for “our” new family and delivered it to them on Thanksgiving. We feel good doing good for others, and decide to make it a yearly part of our business plan.
