WE ARE RECESS
Create. Play. Impact.
We strive to merge work and play, grounded by our commitment to connect deeply and work collaboratively. Here we harness the power of design to create memorable experiences at the intersection of sport and culture.
We communicate what is essential. We seek and elevate the pulse of your messaging and create expressions across all you do, focused on those you are speaking to. This, is what commands attention and creates authentic connections. We unify brands and people through strategic thinking. We solve complex design problems with meaningful and memorable solutions.
SENIOR LEVEL EXPERIENCE
Our One-Two Punch
Founded in 2016, Recess is led by two senior level creatives – Caroline Shaw and Wilson Duong. Our 25+ years of industry experience allows us to flex across the process—from creative thinking, direction and client services through to design, production and execution. In addition, our extensive network of creative collaborators allows us to easily grow our team for project specific needs. Together, we keep our operating costs down, with no hidden costs or fees, maximizing project budgets and dollars spent.
