Who 
We Are
We are a POC, Queer led death & creativity studio that amplify inclusive, diverse experiences through design.
Our 
Values
- 
      
        
          
        
      
      We create in Community, for Community. Everyone is a teacher, everyone is a student. We can learn from each other’s experiences. 
- 
      
        
      
      May we honor the multiplicities within our container. May we practice deep listening, being heard, holding, being held. 
- 
      
        
      
      If at first we don’t succeed, take the lessons and decompose the rest — creating new futures can be messy. May we practice curiosity with a childlike wonder. 
Our Guidelines
- We begin with death. In order to become new, a part of oneself must die. We begin with grief. To know grief, is to know love. We remember with gratitude. No one is left behind or forgotten. 
- We know more than we know. We don’t know all, but together we know a lot. 
- We honor puddles. We honor goop. We honor process above all else. 
- Rest is our greatest experiment; we learn how to discern, when to ebb, when to flow. 
- There will be food, there will be laughter, there will be joy. Even parties are prayer. 
- Time is a justice issue. We are practicing awareness of how we give and take space/time in relation to others. 
- We acknowledge different communication patterns and value different communication needs. We listen to be curious and to understand, not to agree or to judge. 
- We express our boundaries and needs, but we never have to explain why our boundary is what it is.
