This freelance position can be remote but if onsite you will benefit in-person from our youthful energy and impassioned approach to our daily work lives. Our office is lined with 100 year old brick within an open floor plan. Dozens of great restaurants and shops are right outside in what we describe as a cool little town (that’s on a river, a quick drive to the shore and still close enough to the city). It is great for an afternoon stroll to soak in the kinetic energy of the town whenever a creative block hits.
