As we approach the holiday season, we want to take another moment to express our gratitude for all of you—our amazing team, clients, and supporters who make Behind the Design so special. Thanksgiving is a time to pause, reflect, and cherish the connections that enrich our lives. It’s also a reminder to embrace gratitude not just for what we have, but for the people we share it with. In honor of this, Behind the Design will be closed Thursday, November 28th, through Friday, November 29th, to allow our team to spend meaningful time with their loved ones. We'll return to regular business hours on Monday, December 2nd, recharged and ready to serve you. We encourage you to take this time to slow down, share special moments with family and friends, and reflect on the blessings in your life. Gratitude has the power to ground us, and pausing allows us to refocus on what truly matters. #peopleoperations #BehindtheDesign #holidayhours #pause #gratitude?
