“Experiences over things” is a mantra that guides Kyle in life and design. He’s inherently curious and loves to collaborate to find the most correct solutions, whether it’s an object, a business, a process, or a brand. Kyle loves good coffee, good reads, and a good excuse to be outside.

Steven is a highly creative and passionate designer with gearhead tendencies. With a background in industrial and transportation design, he relishes any opportunity to design something fast.
