Our team has been focusing on bite-sized actions we can take to make an impact, and to take care of both ourselves and our clients during these unprecedented times. One thing we’ve been passionate about is finding ways to support other small business owners while life feels turbulent. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of our favorite small businesses, and are sharing their recent projects or content for you to check out!
All of these resources are incredibly valuable – and we love that we’re able to share them with you here.
