owners & founders

NATASHA


A doodler from day 1 with a strange affinity for mathematical word problems, Natasha combined her love of art with her knack for problem-solving when she confidently decided on her career path at the ripe old age of 16: a double major in graphic design and advertising design. She took every art class her high school had to offer; she also took AP Calculus, but dropped it the day she found out she got accepted to art school. Natasha has spent her entire professional life in experiential marketing where, to this day, she regularly uses both the right and left side of her brain to bring strong, strategic creative to life. Though a native Texan, the accent only occasionally slips out after a few drinks, y'all.

DALE


With over 30 years of experience in tinkering, Dale has turned his passion for figuring-out-how-to-make-it-himself into a career in environmental and event design. His varied background – building architectural models for multi-million dollar development projects, signal engineering on the NYC subway system, and woodworking & product design – along with AutoCAD mastery come together in the perfect balance. Dale dreams up innovative design ideas that are firmly planted in the realities of engineering and fabrication. A native New Yorker, and self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, he'll passionately debate what makes a good slice and share his very strong opinions on the right crust-to-sauce-to-cheese ratio.
