Meet the Team
We asked each member of our team to bring several items that would help our customers get to know them better. Then, we asked them a series of questions and a few dumb controversial ones. This is what they came up with...
- - -
KUNI
- - -
President and Idea Creator
- - -
Give Kuni a plate of any Asian noodles with a side of The Office reruns, and he is one happy camper. If given the chance, Kuni would compete in the show Survivor. Luckily, his Jiu-jitsu training has prepared him to grapple with the idea of being placed in uncomfortable situations, but not for the occasional cockroach encounter. A real competitor and music lover, he once participated in a Battle of the Bands, the outcome still hurts to this day.

IF YOU HAD A BLACK AMEX CARD, WHAT STORE/HOBBY WOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO MAX IT OUT AT?
I’d buy a ton of different guitars, amps, and pedals
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM YOU’VE BOUGHT IN THE LAST YEAR?
A new pair of Thursday Boot Co. boots, it just shows I’m a sucker for those Instagram ads
UNPOPULAR OPINION/PREFERENCE YOU HAVE
Game of thrones is severely overrated. Cream cheese in sushi is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity.
WHAT IS THE DUMBEST WAY YOU’VE BEEN INJURED?
Drunk biking down a hill. Hit a drain and flipped over the handlebars. Had to go to the hospital.
“THE VACUUM SUCKS.” IS THAT A POSITIVE OR A NEGATIVE STATEMENT?
Neither. It is a true statement

KATHERINE
- - -
ACCOUNT MANAGER & MATH WIZARD
- - -
A traveler, thrift shopper and planned Gemini, Katherine equally enjoys spending time in the kitchen as she does outdoors. She makes a mean baklava, and does not believe in the purpose of cantaloupe. You can’t give her a math problem or excel challenge too hard to tackle. And the fact that she attended her first music festival at 4, it’s easy to see that she follows the path of her own carefully studied birth chart.
- - -
IF YOU HAD A PERSONAL ASSISTANT, WHAT WOULD YOU NEED HIM/HER TO DO FOR YOU THE MOST?
I really just need someone to take my clothing out of the dryer. That takes about 5 business days for me to accomplish.
FAVORITE SHOW OR MOVIE OF ALL TIME
Gonna have to go with Good Will Hunting. Math people unite
IF ANYTHING COULD BE YOUR SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Apparition. Or just being able to live in the wizarding world in general.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM YOU’VE BOUGHT IN THE LAST YEAR?
The answer is ALWAYS a plant.
IF YOU PUT ONE LASAGNA ON TOP OF ANOTHER LASAGNA IS IT TWO LASAGNAS OR JUST ONE BIG ONE?
One big lasagna, a.k.a. lasagna of my dreams.
- - -
ELAINE
- - -
PHOTOGRAPHER & DESIGN EXTRAORDINAIRE
- - -
Elaine, (unlike another very famous Elaine) has no desire to carry on feuds with anyone, unless you’re that pesky squirrel that keeps eating her expensive bird seed. Even though she strongly dislikes trendy catch phrases like “Team” and “Amazing”, she is a true collaborator and an amazing team player. Animals give her life, and she wishes it could be as simplistic and good as the one in The Andy Griffith Show and as classy as Grace Kelly’s.
- - -
CHOOSE A MOVIE TITLE FOR THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE OR TITLE OF YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY
“Cats and Dogs Living Together, Mass Hysteria!”
FAVORITE MEAL/THING TO EAT?
That’s easy. Mexican Coke and dark chocolate.
WHAT WAS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE FOOD AS A CHILD? DO YOU STILL HATE IT OR DO YOU LOVE IT NOW?
The brussels sprout is a useless food. It’s a cabbage wanna-be without the taste. And, NO. Still hate it.
DO YOU HAVE ANY STRANGE PHOBIAS?
None that I’m aware of, unless you consider my paranoia. Why do you ask?
IS CEREAL SOUP? AND DO YOU EAT OR DRINK SOUP?
Cereal is cereal. And you eat soup – unless you have it in a cup. Then it’s a drink.
- - -
TAHIRY
- - -
MARKETER & SOCIAL MEDIA PLANNER
- - -
Though she has an affinity for sarcasm and appreciates a great side eye, Tahiry wants you to know she is actually not that sassy, or at least she is tired of people calling her that. She is a fan of TV binge-watching, lively pop culture discussions, and all things creative. On a beautiful sunny day, she will take time to explore “the paved outdoors”. If in doubt, equip her with a fully charged phone, Wi-Fi access, and a margarita, she will be one happy girl.

IF YOU COULD PICK A FAMOUS PERSON OR CHARACTER TO BE YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND, WHO WOULD IT BE?
“I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it”
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT ISN’T REAL, BUT YOU REALLY WISH IT WAS?
Llamacorn!
WHAT IS ONE THING WE COULD NEVER GUESS ABOUT YOU?
I had a pet squirrel for almost two days when I was 4. Holding out hope for an Arya/Nymeria-esque reunion with Floppy one day.
THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING, WHAT IS THE LAST THING YOU WOULD WANT TO DO BEFORE IT GETS HERE?
Ask vegans if it was worth it.
SINCE TOMATOES ARE CONSIDERED FRUIT, DOES THAT MAKE KETCHUP A SMOOTHIE?
Would I Instagram a glass of ketchup on a sandy beach? Then no.
