Looking at various “m” words, I ultimately landed on marvelous as our CurlyRed word of the month for March. Besides meaning “causing great wonder” and “extraordinary,” it's also this delightfully old-fashioned word that should be used more often (outside of hilarious comedies set in the 60s or in a comic-book-turned-movie universe).

CurlyRed turns Sweet Sixteen today, wooohooo! Over breakfast, I was reminiscing about some of the harder things I've faced in the past 16 years. Like in 2008, when the recession hit and I lost the few clients I had and had to start all over again. Like in 2009, when a former client threatened to […]

This year, we are going to pick a word for each month that starts with the same letter that starts the month name, and then our junior designer Olivia is going to create a sweet custom illustration around that word! Jubilee felt like a great word to kick off 2023. Not only does the word […]
Categories: 16 years of CurlyRedOn January 31st, CurlyRed will turn 16 YEARS OLD (can you believe it?). And if you know us, you know we love a theme (as if!). So we figured what better way to celebrate than a 90's party (given that president and principal designer M. Kendall Ludwig was very much a 90's teenager). So channel […]

It's fleeting, and it seems (in my experience) that the more I try to hold onto it, the more it wants to slip through my fingers. But someone wise told me recently that joy is something we need to choose […]

“I wish I knew what to post.” “I don't have time to worry about social media.” “I should be posting online, but I don't even know where to start.” When thinking about your company or organization's goals for 2023, where does your presence on social media fit in? Do you have a plan of what […]
