Working Assumptions

We make art happen about work and family.

I am the chair of the board at Working Assumptions and act as a pro-bono creative advisor. Our national projects include a traveling exhibition: Showing (work x family), a photography commission series: Showing: Pregnancy in the Workplace, and an inspiring national education program. 

Thanks to Bluprint for their incredible guidance, Studio Bueno for design, and shout out to Joe Brommel for all of this epic writing alongside the unbelievable staff at Working Assumptions.

About Working Assumptions

We envision a future where society values care. To get there, society has to see care. 

At Working Assumptions, we think in pictures. We remember in pictures. We make jokes in pictures. We talk in pictures. 

Strong pictures and good art feed us with energy and propel us. We love making things. We experiment. We let ideas emerge from photographs, and we don’t rush good ideas. 

We make art happen about work and family.
