since '98

Work Week

On being exposed and delivering the creative hooplahs, Jesse Brown and Chad Kouri did it again, the Life Long Work Week. They transformed the Renegade Handmade storefront into their work space for one week, this time in Chicago.

Must have been exhilarating, crazy nerve-racking and fun.

They notch it up, for us to aspire to be as excellent as they are.
