Who

we are

The Significance of a Symbol

The origin of our logo is quite easy to explain. A friend once referred to dragonflies as “butterflies with attitude.” We immediately fell in love. Well, as much as one can fall in love with a phrase... We fell in love.

When debating logos, we toyed with several images. Until one day, we realized the answer was right under our noses. Or we should say, it was pinned to our blouses. You see, after hearing the phrase “butterflies with attitude,” we had abandoned all other pins and brooches to almost exclusively wear dragonflies - exotic, simple, playful and funky.

Like butterflies, we are lighthearted, colorful and creative free spirits. But don’t mistake our free spirit for lack of drive. We have an attitude of dedication that says, “Good is not nearly enough.” We have an attitude of determination that drives us to do better than best. We have an attitude of dependability that allows our clients to trust our word and our work.

The dragonfly or butterfly with attitude embodies our spirit. It underscores everything about the way we approach work. It explains why we soar beyond client expectations.
