HIVE buzzz...
It’s great to see how Hivers are starting 2011 off. Bandsintown was selected by 944 San Diego as one of 12 top innovators under 30 making things happen in todays market. To read the full article on Bandsintown check out page 72 on the 944 online flip book.
You may have noticed several of the honeys around theHIVE sporting the same chic jewelry-it’s LouLou Bijoux, the workings of Leslie Du Roure. Leslie aka LouLou, the face of HIVE241, began the venture last year, distributing pieces straight from Marseilles in the South of France. She’s held her own at both the Thread Show here in East Village as well as Projekt 619 at Voyeur and we’re stoked because now the collections are available on the new LouLou Bijoux site. We’re big fans of the thread bracelets-go check them out! Congrats on the milestone LouLou!
This is what we’re about: collaboration. Once people warm up to the idea of working in a communal office, they see the benefits of working alongside others. Today we found several of our own mixing it up for some inter-company idea swaps. Creatives who otherwise might not have met group up for whiteboard sessions, a piece of good advice or chatting up a new venture over lunch. Love it!
Last March, upon opening theHIVE, we brought on board Dylan Ousley as our graphic design intern. After a full year of interning with us, gaining momentum via collaboration, and taking on clients from within theHIVE and around town, he decided it was time to move on up. This month he got his own desk and is running his blog-DylanOusley.com, HomeEc graphic design and The Motivated Youth site. He’s now a permanent fixture-congrats on the transition Dylan!
