what are we?

what is the uncompany collective? 

we are a loose agglomeration of creative professionals.

we are a response to the breakdown of the economy.

we are a way out and a way in.

we are a conversation.

we are an open question.

we hope to work together to contribute to this exciting (a new president! who thinks!) and terrifying (a devastated & deteriorating economy, & all that means, especially for the most vulnerable) time.  

we hope to work with others too.

we hope you will work with people in disciplines you hadn't considered as related to yours too. 

things can be different.

come get uncompanied with us

the uncompany launch

The day after Thanksgiving, five of us got together in a backyard in Echo Park, Los Angeles to start the uncompany. We drank Belgian beer and ate garbanzo beans, Brie, and fennel salad. We come from the worlds of journalism, design, marketing communications, fashion, publishing and gardening. We look forward to unearthing new paradigms for business and society. We look forward to new opportunities for the fabulous creative community of professionals who believe that it is still possible to thrive, even in this economy. And the way to do that? By pooling our talents, by combining and recombining so we can work together in new ways. 

This is just the beginning.
