10 Things We're Doing Besides Saying Bye for Now
claire and erica’s things
Daring you to find a person who navigates the operational complexities of running a business with even half the poise and determination that Joan Baker does. Which is to say nothing of her reporting and finance chops!
Wishing all content everywhere got a dusting of Liz Sheldon’s trademark mix of thoughtfulness, sensitivity, and savvy—and that every team was so lucky as to have her kindness shaping the office ~vibes~.
Spotting a unicorn: Izzy Devine-Carter is—somehow—as good with words as she is with visuals (see our IG for proof), and that’s not even taking her digital and content production skills into account.
Showing you a woman who can juggle, like, 17 balls. Digital marketing, web project management, events? Jessie Newland’s on it, and she’ll make sure everyone else is on it, too.
Unearthing something we honestly didn’t know existed in a PR agency: LaRue relies on zero smoke or mirrors, just hard work and smarts, and everyone involved is just plain nice.
Predicting we’ll all be working for Marie Joh one day. She led our buying and merchandising for the last four years, but, like a true leader, she left her imprint on every part of the business.
Knowing we’ll be jealous of whatever brand is fortunate enough to benefit from Rachel Herzig’s incredible art-direction skills (and the fact that she is one of those rare creatives who is also insanely organized).
Feeling like we were never worthy of Melanie Sellinger’s extreme dedication, unparalleled attention to detail, invaluable candor, and, most of all, killer buying instincts.
Wondering how we got so lucky as to find the one warehouse in all the land that cares about the little things as much as we do—and was willing (nay, wanting) to manage the bonkers process of hand-written thank-you notes and certificates of authenticity because of that.
Telling you something you already know if you’ve ever interacted with Ruby Tucker: Nobody feels more deeply for Of a Kind’s customers than she does. If you think she oozes warmth in an email, you should see her at work.
