    • Uncompromisingly high standards for quality &creativity;
    • Relentless accountability & ownership;
    • Overwhelming transparency matched with direct communication & feedback;

    • We’re early on our journey…paddling out to catch the big wave. Every day we strive to live these values, but we’re not perfect, and it doesn’t always happen. While our culture will evolve over time, many of these values are fundamental and, therefore, will not.
