Season Three of the Ellipsis Lecture Series invited a dynamic group of creatives whose work exemplifies innovation and collaboration at the intersections of design, performance, and community. Through their distinct yet interconnected practices, this season’s speakers—Mark Owens, Maximilian Schachtner, and Roxanne Gray—offered compelling perspectives on how creativity can drive meaningful connections and cultural transformation.

Our commitment to developing brands inevitably begins with brand strategy where we together define a brand's point of view. We see this as a type of therapy—articulating the existential questions that a brand is then poised to answer. We develop an individual strategy experience tailored for each client and their needs.
We run a full-service creative direction and design studio with wide-ranging interests and no preferred mediums. We collaborate with creatives from all disciplines to develop visual and conceptual solutions for brands and institutions.
We work closely with our manufacturing partners in North America, Europe, and Asia to source, prototype, sample, and produce products at the highest level. We have dedicated teams in the US and China committed to ensuring your products are made to your specifications in a timely manner.

An ellipsis ( ... ) consists of three evenly spaced periods and is used to indicate the omission of words or suggest an incomplete thought. In general, an ellipsis should be treated as a three-letter word, with a space, three periods and a space. (Western Michigan University is ... nationally recognized and internationally engaged.)

Never delete words that are central to the original meaning. Do not use ellipses at the beginning or end of direct quotes when writing a news story.
