Our Company
We get people excited about mundane, unloved building products. Sounds wild, we know. See for yourself, check out our Instagram.
We invented the first modular air register that can be customized to any surface material. Although air registers are our flagship products, we are quickly diversifying into new categories.
We are a quickly growing team of ambitious, creative, boot-strappers led by our female founder. Our company culture is centred around collaboration, humility and the discipline to work intentionally. As a high growth business, we are constantly evolving and scaling.
We create a work environment where you can excel at the things you're good at, experiment with tasks you love doing, and challenge yourself to learn new things that are outside your skill set.
