Mission

The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity. Edmund Burke

With a passion for authentic cultures, wild places, thoughtful adventure, and the artistic expression of each, we hope to create compelling visual stories that will transport consumers to the origin of products and resources they use everyday: the morning shower, the gold broche, the tank of gas. Because we believe people are curious and want to connect to the intricacy of the global economy, we illustrate the good - personalities, landscapes, innovative and sustainable ideas - and the bad - corporate corruption, greed, exploitation, irreparable loss - of its interconnections. We hope that a more aware consumer will become a better consumer. Ultimately, we're curious and we like getting in deep.
