(Our first) Worldwide Headquarters
Our first assignment in the summer of 2005 was to re-brand the office space we found. To boldly take the place known as 8220 La Mirada from 1978 to at
least 1981.
Every time we landed a client, we bought some furniture and a plant or two. Here's where we left off before we moved into bigger digs.
