Andean Collection 2012 Impact Report

Andean Collection takes cues from our diverse world. We use both bright colors and soft hues, and combine natural materials with rustic metals. We spend our time between New York City and artisan workshops in the Andean regions of South America.

Our look integrates these worlds and the results are inspired designs that fuse the urban with the rural; the natural with the modern.

YWCA Family Partnership

YWCA's Nurse Partnership Program helps at risk mothers by assigning them a nurse that makes house calls throughout the unplanned pregnancy and the first year of the child's life. The program ensures a healthy start to a new life by teaching the mothers about nutrition and health for them and their child as well as educating them about other programs that will help them aspire to a higher standard of living. We collaborated with Josh Bray and Steve Deitz at 900lbs of Creative on this project.

By the time these children reach middle school, many are involved in gangs, drugs and other criminal activities. The ideal way to break the cycle is to remove the boys from this threatened environment, but this neighborhood is their home. A more realistic approach is to give boys who enter the program at 5-7 years of age, an opportunity to experience the benefits
