Welcome to the Team, Maya — We're So Glad You're Here!

Your new colleagues can't wait to get started

Maya, welcome! I know the first few weeks can feel like drinking from a firehose, but please know that every single one of us has been there. We're a team that genuinely helps each other out — no such thing as a silly question here. I'm so excited for what you're going to bring.

Very important information: the good coffee machine is on the third floor (not the second, despite what the signs say), best lunch spot is the Thai place two streets over, and we do a biscuit run every day at 3pm — you are automatically included. Welcome!

Ben & Chloe

Your desk neighbours

I went through your portfolio and I'm really excited to work with you. The project you did for the São Paulo client was brilliant — I was telling the team about it last week. Looking forward to what we're going to build together.

We've heard great things. We are SO ready for you to be here. You're going to love it — and if there's anything at all you need, there are a lot of us who will absolutely be that person for you. See you Monday!

Let every teammate record a quick video or voice intro — way better than a calendar invite.
