Hudson Lee

Senior Strategist

Best part of your job?
Digging deep to get to the heart of who a brand is, and creating an epic strategy that makes them feel understood. There’s no better feeling than giving a client that ‘aha!’ moment and watching their faces light up when they see their dreams for their brand come to life.

Daily ritual
If my morning doesn’t start with at least one cup of coffee and two buttery pieces of toasted sourdough, I’m in shambles. I’m also a firm believer in the importance of a daily mental-health walk, rain or shine.

Cheyenne Manning

Designer

The best part of your job?
As a lifelong learner I thrive not knowing what project will stretch or flex which muscles. Brain day, every day.

Level 10 fun is
Flipping sourdough pancakes before the sun is up—the best fuel before spending a day at the beach, camping in the woods, or biking around the city.

Daily ritual
My morning starts off with a wake-up yoga sesh, meditation breathwork, and concludes with a cup of decaf coffee before work.

Vanessa Cadena

Office Manager

The best thing about your job?
I am Monday’s Office Manager, occasional Project Coordinator, and organization-obsessed Caregiver. I love how much it allows me to learn and grow, and how all of a sudden, Monday—literally—became my favourite day of the week.

Where were you born?
Made, born and raised in Bogota. Proudly a Colombian immigrant.

Travelling to no-city destinations where I can disconnect from reality and witness Mother Nature’s beauty. I want to be the kind of grandmother who brags about having gone to all these amazing places.
