For those of you who have been Breaking Bread with us from the very beginning, you understand that Building Creative Unions and establishing One Fun House has been the foundation of our business. We have led the Fight Against the Ugliness for eight years, and shared our office space with some Out-of-This-World talent. We think we’ve done a pretty good job at Leaving Our Mark on This Town and it sure isn’t by some stroke of Luck that we’ve made it this far.
Now we’re One-Upping Our Game, yet again, and we invite you to join us at the eighth annual 427 Design Open House on Friday, April 25th at 4:27 pm!
Take a walk with us through the first seven epic Open House celebrations as we look back at all that we have accomplished and look ahead to all that is in store.
