Resketch is Now Live

We officially acquired Resketch in March of this year. It has been an amazing journey that could not have been successful without tremendous support and patience from countless friends, family, dedicated and brilliant production partners, suppliers, and so much more.

A special thank you goes out to Shawn Smith of Shawnimals, the OG Resketcher who founded Resketch more than seven years ago. He built a fantastic company, and we are proud to carry forward what he created. Shawn remains a part of the company and has been an invaluable resource through the (re)building and (re)branding process - Thank you, Shawn.
