HAYLEY ELSAESSER

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

What song encapsulates the music you liked to listen to as a teen?

I'd probably say Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional. I was so, so emo back in my teen years and really felt this song!

What is your most overused saying?
Ending statements withbaby” - apparently I think I'm in an early 2000's pop group.

Is there a pop culture figure who has inspired you creatively?

Karen O influenced me a lot in high school. Her style was so crazy and so unique but not trying to be pretty or sexy like women are normally expected to be and I really admired it.  

CONNOR ELSAESSER

DIRECTOR OF SALES AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

What song encapsulates the music you liked to listen to as a teen?

Definitely Ante Up Remix by M.O.P featuring Busta Rhymes, Teflon and Remy Ma - I can’t hear it and not get super amped up. So good.

What is your most overused saying?

Probably, ‘You know what I mean?’ which is odd considering I fancy myself to be very good at explaining what I mean quite thoroughly the first time around.

Is there a pop culture figure who has inspired you creatively?

Buck 65 is a Canadian musician who had a significant impact on my identity in my early 20s as did RZA of the Wu Tang Clan and Bob Dylan. These days I’m inspired by people like Phil Knight (Nike founder) and the late Anthony Bourdain.
