As we head into the holidays, I’m feeling grateful.
Our twins turning 4 was a big reminder of how fast time moves. And I’m proud of the real progress we made this year across manufacturing — innovation, sustainability, and strong teams.
Wishing everyone a peaceful, joyful holiday season!

When my husband and I began our journey to build a family, we were surprised by how fragmented, confusing, and isolating the process could be, especially for LGBTQ+ parents.
Every day, I see how much stress and uncertainty we can remove simply by giving people a place where they feel understood.

Despite decades of progress, the core of the manufacturing industry hasn't changed much. We've seen lots of slow, incremental improvements, but few big innovations.
AI could change that, but only if we're willing to think differently about how we work, rather tack on new tech to old processes.
