What We Do












“To work with the Quatrefoil design team, to work with the graphic design team, to work with the project managers, everybody that was a part of our team helped us really put our thoughts into different compartments and think clearly about what we did. They were invaluable as partners.”
–Joshua Christian, National Lacrosse Museum
