We decided to embrace a year of change and highlight our new custom apparel design and manufacturing services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team worked to concept, design, and source a hat, that we then distributed to team members and clients as a holiday promotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the first moment, the conversation was about quality and utility. It was important that what we gave as a seasonal gift was also something we are proud to claim as our design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a vision in mind, we considered design details to be passed to our supplier.
