How We Grew in 2017

2017 was a wonderful year for LimeCuda – January 2018 was actually our 8th year anniversary!

As we’re starting to head full steam into 2018 I thought I’d (Blake) share some news and reflections. First up…

A new baby in the mix

My wife and I are thrilled to announce the birth of Micah Roger Imeson in early October. It was the “boring” delivery we were praying for and so far he has been a delightfully easy baby.

A major thanks to all the clients who very graciously allowed me to take two weeks of time mostly ignoring email and project work. There is much I love about the work we do at LimeCuda and the flexibility to attend to our families is easily our chief perk.

What would a baby announcement be without oodles of cute pictures? Here are 9 photos out of the probably 9000 we’ve taken :)

 

A change of scenery for the Mallards

This was also a year of big change for my (Josh writing now) family. We finally sold our home in Georgia and have embarked on a new adventure in South Carolina! We’ve landed in a 100 year old mill converted into lofts in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It’s a beautiful and creative space with an awesome community. My 5 year old loves meeting new people everyday on the elevator and talks about how he loves his new apartment better than his “boring house”. This area is a great hub being within an hour of Greenville, Asheville, and Charlotte and a great spot for launching some memorable weekend adventures.

We’ve been here only a couple of months and have met some wonderful people, great organizations to get the kids involved, as well as found a great church community we look forward to getting more invested with.

Growing our persistent team

As many of our clients may have noticed, our team has been growing a little bit in 2017 as well. This year has been hectic that we shamefully let our newest team member, Elizabeth Copeland, get settled without making a big announcement to the world here. Her official job title is “Project Manager”, a role which she has filled wonderfully, but she wears many other hats including designer, developer, and Blake & Josh wrangler. We really look forward to continuing to work with her in 2018!

Additionally, we’ve also had the pleasure of working with several new designers and developers this year to help us bring your projects to life. We can now say that our clients sites have been crafted with love in California, Georgia, Michigan, South Carolina, and Texas.

Focus for 2018

As we look forward to 2018, we’re focusing on our commitment to “doing great work for awesome people”. Our biggest assets at LimeCuda are our awesome clients and the unique relationships we have with each of them. We love working with cool people on projects and passions that we can support and stand behind. If we can add value in those scenarios, we want to find a way to make it happen!
