While we all may debate policies on number of days in office, we all can align on the best damn partners in the biz. Love the packaging team crew, led by the incomparable Suzanna Lakatos. She is what great leadership looks like. And this is what great teams look like! So glad we’re using time in office to reconnect and strength trust and relationships between our cross-functional partners!
And yes, why yes, that is yellow duct tape we used as name tags. Who doesn’t love a good pop of color?!
Get Ready for Barbie Game Night!
The whole team worked in collaboration with Hasbro on this one from the photos and cover art to the copy. We’ve already pre-ordered to bring game night to the Marcom tables! Note: For the benefit of the relationships around her, Audrey has banner herself from playing. You’ve been warned.

Congrats to Yen, Kristina. Melanie, Alex, and the whole AG team!! Loved taking a tour of the space before opening hours and celebrating with iced matchas! And particularly loved the custom illustrations by Joana Avillez. So much charm, so many fun easter eggs throughout.

Loving the nod to our gal with pink suede on the cover. He’s so much more than ‘Beach’! He’s Ken!
Working on a Musical Production, Who Knew?!
What an experience to the see the endlessly talented Bart Doefler, in action. The director, choreographer, and co-composer who took the experiment of trying out Monster High as a Musical production. He is such a visionary, leader, and mentor to the young cast. It was great to see him in action on the dance floor, working through choreography with his long-time collaborator, Cat Ferrier, and then having a sit-down with the cast to provide lessons and guidance on life on the road as part of a touring production. In Costume Design, I got to meet Cynthia Nordstrom with Matthew Solomo and see the evolution their custom creations first-hand.
Forever in awe and grateful that I had the opportunity to witness.
