Arbitrary Noun

In the autumn of 2001 a small design company was born: Design Hope. Its inception went largely unnoticed, as its three founders–and for a long time its only members–were scattered along the eastern coast of the United States, attending three different schools and rarely meeting to collaborate on any single project. Serving merely as an umbrella company under which the three pursued their varied interests, Design Hope ceased to exist in the summer of 2007. With this seemingly inevitable conclusion, some of us were left "homeless," so to speak. To that end, Arbitrary Noun began.
