Recognition

Trophies are cool. Especially when they come to life at night and whisper oddly specific affirmations in your ear while you sleep.

But I’m most proud of the reactions of everyday people:

Also, fine. Some awards:

Effies, Clios, Webby Awards, One Show merit, Northern California Regional Emmy, Guinness Book of World Records, and more Cannes Lion & D&AD shortlists without winning one than I can count (7).
