SecretPenguin had the pleasure of presenting a runway show by our longtime client Autopilot. Alexia Thiele is the designer behind Autopilot and she put on quite the show. Here’s some photos from the event.

Congrats to Alexia on her first solo show! It was really amazing to see her work come to life on the runway.

When Malcolm Gladwell, staff writer with The New Yorker magazine and author of “The Tipping Point,” “Blink,” and “Outliers,” stopped by our studio yesterday we had only one thing in mind: Paddle Battle. Sure, we could have bombarded him with questions about his books (I’ve read all three) or bored him with our take on why extraordinary people succeed regardless of their surroundings. But no, we wanted to battle - and battle him we did. Here’s a couple of photos from the event. Be watching for the video of the full battle which will be featured on PaddleBattle.com next week.

Many thanks to Malcolm for taking the time to battle us! We hope he enjoyed his time in Omaha and was able to see what a great city this is.
