Our Retrospect.iv of 2022 ??
Retrospect
We are a Black-owned research and design company that creates brave spaces for integrity and authenticity.
Family, Friends & Loved Ones,
As we stand at the close of another year, we ask again who we have been and what we have done in the world. At Retrospect , we carry the spirit of our namesake as a practice in each phase of our work.
This year, we look back at the moments that made time stop…
?? We expanded to 28 employees across the globe, with a blended ecosystem of full-time and creative contractors.
?? We made paella with the freshest ingredients from the best in Spain and made pasta from scratch with nonnas in Italy on Zoom .
?? We worked with 15 companies across 7+ industries to tell stories that reflect the nuances of our humanity.
?? We spoke on new stages to share the ethos of how we’re building a human-first studio. Special shout out to ADWEEK 2022, 亚马逊 Black Business Accelerator, MIT Club of San Diego , Meta for hearing us!
?? We traveled to different corners of the world to listen and learn from other creative practitioners at Cannes Lions 2022 (bonjour!) and The Creative Collective NYC 's annual CultureCon NYC.
?? We helped our clients’ brand dreams come to life, like our work with Official Black Wall Street App , EatOkra , Kindred ( Marin Community Foundation ), and sooo many more (the NDAs are real lol)!

???? We hosted a space for celebration for creatives of color in partnership with Le Truc and Toasted Life when we launched our happy hour series, Culture Hour in NYC.
?? We relentlessly pursued the spirit of retrospection, reminding both ourselves and our partners of the importance of evaluating where we are and where we want to go.
?? We stood in our value, both monetarily and mindfully, knowing that the right ones will always rise to meet our highest selves. We officially crossed the threshold of $1M revenue.
And as we close this year, may you remember the moments that led you to where you are today. Our moments — the good, the bad and the unexpected — made us stronger having gone through them.
Thank you for your continued support and we can’t wait to share more exciting news in 2023!
With Love and Gratitude,
