Chartreuse Goes Mobile

Posted on by

What better way to get up from our desks, be active and celebrate summer than a group bike ride around town? A technical difficulty first led us to Century Cycles in Rocky River for a quick bike fix.

The staff was wonderfully helpful as always (thanks Ray!), and we continued on for a much needed caffeine break at our favorite summer coffee shop, Erie Island. The breezy open air setup makes this spot a warm weather win, and it couldn’t be more convenient for anyone traveling on two wheels.

Our ride was short and sweet, but the ideal afternoon break for a perfect summer day. Just like one of our favorite Underground cards says, “Everything is Better on a Bicycle.” Get on your bikes and ride!

Wellness at Work!

Here at the studio we make “wellness” a priority. We live by the phrase work hard, play hard. We pride ourselves as a team of designers not only passionate about design, advertising and marketing but about running, cycling and yoga.

At the studio Michelle Z also wears the hat of “wellness director” for our team. She orgazines monthly fun wellness outings where we are able to go out, move our bodies and our minds and enjoy spending good quality time together as a group. This past winter we managed to scoot out early on a Friday to visit the local ice skating rink where we “toe picked” around, practicing our balance, speed and most of all of appreciation for not falling down.

We also took a few hours out of our day to attend a film at the 36th annual Cleveland International Film Festival as part of our “wellness” practices. Nothing feels as good as a matinée movie on a work day!

Last but not least, Chartreuse was a finalist for the 2012 COSE/Cleveland Museum of Natural History “Wellness at Work Awards.” The three of us attended a lovely cocktail and dinner soireé awards ceremony at the Intercontinental Hotel. The evening was really “sWELL!”

On our future list of wellness outings? Indoor mountain biking, Zumba, lots of summer bike rides, jogging and more! Stay tuned, you never know what we will get into next. Now, back to design!
