Old Business/ New Business

As many of you know, I have been working for Todd (aka. Milestone Survey) for a few months now. I help him with all his admin, record keeping, office stuff, logo design work, etc. Basically, I am his right hand (and sometimes also left hand) woman. The structure of that may change a bit soon but I won't spill until details are confirmed.

As many of you also know, and this bit is more exciting, I have been working for a few weeks as the Marketing Manager of an eco-friendly company called Way Basics (www.waybasics.com). I found out about this company (and met the CEO) through a friend at Berkeley and I have to say that it is a great match. I love working with the Way Basics team and there is a lot of room for growth which will be fun to watch.  You all should go check them out and poke around. Their furniture and storage units are made of zBoard, this 99% recycled paper product that is produced in Taiwan. The furniture is good for the environment, formaldehyde free, much easier to put together than following the IKEA stick-figures, and strong enough to stand on (I tried!).

The company slogan is building possibilities and they truly live up to their motto. Way Basics is now (as of last week) the official US distributor of a new, arty line of hand bags called Jump From Paper (www.jumpfrompaper.us). These bags are huge in Japan and they are already generating some attention in the states so yay, go team! :)

I know I was just doing some shameless plugging here but I thought what I am doing (on the business side) in my spare time might be of interest to you all.

Some more self-plugging:
