A Blunt Story® was born out of urgent and intersecting conversations about existence, agency, and our place within systems that are seemingly cemented in place.

The practice presents an alternative narrative that subverts and challenges time-worn systems with a radical and pluralistic reimagining of materials and products.

Ou medium serves as our message as the materials we develop work to inform and engage our audience to better understand their impact.
