who we
are
We design print & digital media for entrepreneurs, artists, organizers, healers, farmers, dreamers and people making good in the world.
We design & produce events for individuals, organizations and companies who want to bring people together over good food, in beautiful spaces.
We craft, facilitate and share performance installations, community convenings and learning spaces for people who want to connect more deeply with themselves, the earth and their communities.
We design for the good, gather for the good and experiment for the good of the earth, each other & our collective future.
THE NEST is a dream that has been held and nurtured by Creative Director, Leigh Robbie Gaymon-Jones, for years, and maybe lifetimes. This first iteration of THE NEST is a direct outgrowth of Leigh Robbie's practice as an artist, facilitator and community connector. The team of collaborators are creatives Leigh Robbie has connected with and been inspired by for years. She is thrilled about the ways THE NEST will continue to expand, shift and flourish through collaboration and partnership with more and more creators.
