Sometimes having your own business gets a little lonely and overwhelming. I highly recommend surrounding yourself with a group of whip-smart, talented, tireless (and exhausted), community minded, and encouraging souls who can be right there in it with you. We've always said there is Magic in the Merc... and having partners like this you don't have to imagine why. Our 5 little shops lean on each other in more ways then just the architecture.

Every year since 2020, I've designed a snarky ornament to commemorate it. This year feels (7 & 3) different, so I went a bit more "energetic" 😁 iykyk
