Meet the four personalities that make Silk and Slate the unique blend of Structural design and high-touch service you love! Just be aware that only two of us actually use a calendar!
Addi: Chief Strategist & Time-Lord
The Science behind the event. Addi handles logistics, vendor flow, and ensures the "wheels keep spinning" on time, every time. As a Nurse, Educator, and Project Manager, her internal clock is never wrong.
In Her "Own" Words:"If I could schedule the exact moment of inspiration for our custom pieces six months in advance, I absolutely would. I've tried. Brooke won't let me."
Brooke: Chief of Imagination & Creative Chaos
The Creative Heart. Brooke is the anti-Type A, but yet Type A personality embracing total creative freedom with a sprinkle or a 1/2 cup full of structure. She dreams up the installations, the design concepts, and all the truly fun things our clients LOVE.
In Her "Own" Words: "My best design ideas never come in a scheduled meeting; they typically happen at 2 AM while trying to locate a misplaced stuffed animal. I call it 'Subconscious Creative Consulting."
Cody: Human Ladder & Farming Enthusiast
Vertical Access Expert & Team Moral Support. Cody claims to be too busy for life, but he is always ready to lend his considerable height and strength to the job. He's also the designated conversation partner for Caleb (which is great... but slow).
In His "Own" Words: "It's scientifically proven that Caleb and I are 40% less efficient when we start talking farming. I'm generally too busy for life, but I’ve found that the fastest way to get back to my schedule is to quickly move whatever heavy, spider-covered object Addi and Brooke need moved. I also get to put on my resume "Emergency Vertical Access Expert"."
Caleb: Builder & Spider Relocation Specialist
Unofficial (but Essential) Logistics & Fabrication. Caleb is our good sport who brings the custom requests and the heavy, structural pieces to life. He is paid in appreciation, headaches, and the satisfaction of a job well done.
In His "Own" Words: "My official job description involves building beautiful pieces, lifting anything deemed 'too heavy,' and relocating anything with eight legs. My actual payment, however, is calculated exclusively in Tylenol, energy drinks, and a daily promise not to let my wife and Addi buy any more ladders."
