NO PLACE LIKE HOME 🏡

Read the article (link in bio) for the full scoop on those trends and an exploration of consumer’s evolving expectations of home.

Pop quiz for Kat Tushim, Upshot Creative Director!

If you could be any animal, what would you be? I know it’s grossly obvious to say tabby with a name like Kat, but I’m down to take a few risks and have used too many of my nine lives already to not own up to it.
Fav emoji? 😹
Mantra? Make boring cool.
Super power? Sign Language. Growing up with deaf grandparents, I learned to sign as a toddler. Outside of communicating with my hands and turning me into an expressive talker, sign led me to see the world in symbols.
