CMD runs on woman power, and we’re all the stronger for it. We were delighted to spend the last few days at our New York Production Studio, all the way across the country from our San Francisco HQ. While we may span time zones, our common passions, worth ethics and respect for one another keep us closely tied together. Though Colleen grew up on the east coast, she’d only been to upstate New York once before this trip. Exploring the far northeastern side of the country (just as it’s starting to bloom!) was a wonderful treat.
This week also marks the five-year employee anniversary of Aryana, one of our original staff members. Ary has worked for CMD coast-to-coast and has been instrumental in getting the Ithaca location where it is today. We’re so proud to have had her onboard for the last five years!
Have you visited Ithaca in the spring? We’d love to hear about your favorite spots in the comments below.

It stretched me, grounded me, challenged me, and ultimately reminded me why I chose this path all those years ago. Here’s a look back at the year [...]
As we wrap up another busy, beautiful holiday season, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve shopped with us this year, shared our work with a friend, or simply followed along, your support means more than you know. Starting today, most of The CMD Team will be stepping away for a much needed break [...]
