Rose grew up in Sydney, Australia, surrounded by an outdoorsy life and an early fascination with the world. Her mother’s sense of adventure helped shape Rose’s curiosity for travel, culture, and storytelling from a young age.

She later studied Journalism and Communications, turning that curiosity into a career built around brands, stories, and experiences. At just 21, Rose started her own communications consultancy before moving to New York at 24, drawn to the energy of a city that felt like the center of the world.

In New York, she joined Factory PR in its early years and grew with the agency, working across international brands, local designers, creators, experiential events, social media, content strategy, and business operations. Her background brings a deep understanding of storytelling, hospitality, experience, and how brands create emotional connection.

Sebastien was born in Limoges, France — a city renowned for its porcelain and long relationship with craft. Raised between his French and Portuguese heritage, he grew up surrounded by artistic creation, countryside landscapes, coastal life, and a strong sense of material culture.

He later studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, where his worldview expanded through African and Pre-Columbian art. After moving to New York in 2010, Sebastien began developing his TOTEM series: destination-inspired works that use materials, culture, flora, commerce, and identity to create visual portraits of place.

His background as a textile artist and maker brings the brand its sense of craft, composition, and destination-led creative direction.
