Who we are
We're Colleen and Rachelle, two friends who’ve shared many late nights and laughs on the 15th floor of a public accounting office in Chicago, IL. Our individual journeys then took us through diverse industries, from multiple start-ups and teaching, to building an e-commerce store. Now reunited, with roots in Chicago, IL and Portland, OR, we're here to share our genuine passion for what most people often call boring.
