It’s hard to believe it, but January marks Design Pool’s third birthday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look back on the past three years we are feeling proud of all we have accomplished. Especially when we factor in the surprise wrench thrown into our plans (and everyone else’s on the planet)<\/em> back in March 2020. But, we’ve rolled with it from 2019 \u2013\u00a02021<\/a>. We adjusted where we had to, pivoted where we could, and learned to take things as they come and try to enjoy the ride. That’s easier said than done somedays, but we’re going to keep doing it in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of Design Pool’s third birthday, we’re looking back at some of our favorite first moments from the past 3 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
