Happy Thanksgiving 2019!
Just like that, another year is headed toward a close. The Rogue Creative Development team is so thankful for all the amazing opportunities and clients of 2019. We never fail to be impressed by the incredible stories found in each of you and the creativity found in each of our team members. This year, we’re sharing thanks from each team member, and a few dogs too!
Matt
What a year! While this year definitely came with its set of challenges, there is SO much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Another set of twins (welcome to the family, Poppy and Wells!), amazing clients (old and new!) and the best team in the world. Watching this team really come into their own as they grow and find new and creative ways to tell the stories of our clients is a great joy for me. With this much talent and passion, I can’t even imagine where we’ll be this time next year!
Belinda
I’m thankful for an incredible team of employees that I love working with and hanging out with. It’s so hard to find people you connect with and share the same values with, and I’ve been lucky to find the team for me! I’m also thankful for a year of growth and self-reflection, I’ve been encouraged both at work and outside of work to keep learning and growing in all areas of life.
And, also these hogs in duvets made by Aubree Vanderhoeven for Roguesgiving 2019:
Cory
I am thankful for CASA, and specifically for Matthew Wadlinger, because they are a client that is doing great work that I personally believe in, and Matthew is so much fun to work with. I am so grateful for my growing family. Bringing my daughter home from India and my wife getting pregnant is setting up 2020 to be the best year ever!
Aubree
I am so thankful for the people who surround me in this office. Whether you get a haircut or go through a huge life event, the people here care to notice and say something. In 2019, I was supported by my amazing friends and family to heal from that, which helped create a healthier life for me. I am thankful for my new-found health this year!
Kelly
Clients have become more than clients; they are friends! I’m also thankful for the time I’ve spent with family, closest friends, and boyfriend–going on adventures, traveling, good conversations, good coffee and wine together, and talking about things that matter to us.
Taylor
Each client presents a new challenge to diversify tone and language in my writing. I’m so grateful for these opportunities to build my writing and see just how far I can push my abilities. This year, Pickle also entered my life! I am so blessed with this little goofball.
Hope
I love projects that give me the opportunity to do cool new things, like our “levitation” project for Ecosense. We shot and edited images of models to give them the appearance that they were floating in mid-air! And… hot tea gets me through long days.
JD
I’m thankful for my first helicopter-camera experience for Rogue Aviation. It was an exhilarating, educational experience. This year, my entire family is gathering in Newport Beach to spend Thanksgiving on the peninsula with me, and it’ll be great to see everyone in one place. I’m looking forward to taking my niece and nephews surfing.
Rogue and Pickle
If they could speak, they’d probably say thanks for all the attention and affection they receive. They love greeting clients and hanging around the office! (Rogue is also thankful that Pickle’s hostile takeover on April 1st was just an April Fools joke and that they’re actually great friends.)
