Before joining BOWA earlier this year, I spent a some time working with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

With the final episode airing this Monday, December 17th, I’ve done a lot of thinking about how my work with Extreme Makeover compares to the design build remodeling we do here at BOWA. While the circumstances surrounding… Read More >

Not wanting anything to go to waste, BOWA collected all company clothing with the old logo that was still in wearable condition. Over 500 items were collected and once boxed and… Read More >
