State of La Union Newsletter - October 2023
Dear Valued Friends and Supporters,
As we find ourselves at the cusp of cooler months, surrounded by the breathtaking tapestry of Fall, we take a moment to pause and reflect on our journey. First and foremost, we hope this State of La Union finds you in good health and high spirits, offering a moment of respite amidst the myriad of challenges, conflicts and uncertainties that the world continues to present. We pray for more peace in the world and more peace in our hearts.
Fall, with its vibrant leaves and cooling breezes, has held a special place in our hearts. It's been a season of introspection, growth, and shared moments of joy. Not long ago, we organized a delightful team-bonding event at the space we recently designed for one of our former clients, an experience that ignited our creative sparks. Here, our team came together to explore the art of crafting delicious doughnuts. The laughter, the camaraderie, and the sweetness of our creations served as a reminder of the simple pleasures that fuel our passion for design.
Back at our headquarters, we're delighted to report that the buildout of our new office space has reached its halfway mark. Our new home embodies our dedication to innovation, teamwork, and a harmonious work environment. We eagerly await the moment when we can invite you to join us in celebrating this significant milestone.
It's worth taking a moment to express our gratitude. In this festive season, let us come together, appreciating the spirit of togetherness and gratitude. We are grateful for your continued support and friendship and look forward to sharing the joy of this season with you, celebrating the warmth and strength that binds us together.
With Gratitude,
Sonia-Lynn + Sergio Max
Founders of La Union Studio
