More Than Designers: The Mothers of Our Firm
Motherhood looks different for everyone. But one thing stays the same: it's powerful, shaping and deeply meaningful. This Mother's Day, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the women behind our firm who show up not only as designers, creatives and teammates, but also mothers. We asked a few of the moms on our team to share a glimpse into their lives, and tell us a little about what motherhood means to them.
Heather Hansen, President
"For me, I'd say I love being a mom to my amazing daughter. Balancing work and home life isn't always easy but the joy she brings makes it all worth it. My daughter is so incredible and I'm so grateful to be her mom!"
Amy Riley, Accounts Payable Representative/HR
"Being a mom is my greatest, most heart-filling role. The laughter and memories we have created are the most important things in this life. Being a mom has given me more joy than I could have ever imagined. Simply put, they are my everything!"
Darlene Cook, Customer Service/Warehouse Manager
"They say your heart stays tucked safely inside your body.
But the moment I became a mom, mine learned to wander laughing, growing, and living right beside me. My kids. My heart. My everything."
Alicia Rodriguez, Business Development & Events
"My favorite thing about being a mom is seeing the person that my son is growing into and witnessing his incredible personality unfold. He’s my favorite person in the world. "
Krystal Smith, To The Trade Designer
"Being a mom to my two teenage boys as a single mother these last six years has been the greatest blessing of my life. We’ve grown up together through the hard days, the healing days, and the beautiful days. They are my strength, my purpose, and the reason I keep pushing forward. Watching them become young men with hearts, wisdom, and resilience makes every sacrifice worth it. Motherhood hasn’t always been easy, but loving them has always been effortless. "
Emmy Bogus, Interior Design Assistant
"To be able to witness something that I’ve created, succeed so amazingly well in life, is the greatest accomplishment I’ll ever experience."
Jacquelinne Altom, VP of Marketing
"Motherhood has been the most rewarding, humbling, and stretching adventure of my life these past sixteen years. I never knew my heart could grow the way it has, or that I could be pushed, refined, and reshaped in such beautiful ways. It has challenged me, softened me, and strengthened me all at once, and in the midst of it all, it has given my life a depth of love I never knew was possible."
To all the mothers, inside our firm and beyond, we see you, we celebrate you and we're grateful for the way you shape the world around you in both big and quiet ways.
Happy Mother's Day!
