Meet Dutch, Beloved Brand Ambassador
I am thrilled to introduce you to the soul of my team (and maybe my life) — brand ambassador, Dutch. More than a mascot, he’s my wingman, my favorite coworker, my comic relief, and an integral part of the creative process.
With his “accidentally on-brand” color and laid back demeanor, my charming and beloved Boston terrier is friends to all, perfectly embodying the spirit of the business. With similarity in brand colors and our commitment to classic, timeless design that can be recognized from afar, Dutch’s presence is a reminder of advisory house design values: support, loyalty, and style… with a side of pure goofiness. IYKYK.
My favorite coworker + constant companion
Dutch is highly-trained in support, ensuring that remote work is less isolating and a lot more lively — providing at least 12 laughs per day. Whether he’s making a cameo appearance on a video call or providing moral support during long design or brainstorming sessions, Dutch keeps spirits high, moods calm, and creativity flowing.
Not only is Dutch considered a colleague, he is my constant companion. His agreeable nature and positivity make him easy to have around. No matter the environment, Dutch is a smooth ice breaker, a reliable mood lifter, and a consistently reassuring presence; always happy to be rewarded with treats and love.
Dutch’s playful energy and unwavering loyalty make him everyone’s favorite colleague and he serves as a reminder that while we take our work seriously, it’s important to take a break and savor small moments of play and delight.
Dutch’s adventures + star moments
Dutch has made quite a name for himself outside the advisory house design office. He has more social media followers than most and makes friends everywhere we go. He somehow charms treats from most eateries we visit and is considered a “regular” at many.
A brand model for the leash and harness company Unimin, Dutch gets to show off his dapper style for their website and marketing campaigns.
Dutch regularly attends the art workshops I guide at Composed Living, and is often at the Women Entrepreneurs Community networking group, where he brings smiles and dog kisses to meetings, making everyone’s day a little brighter.
For new company headshot photos while rebranding Food Access LA, Dutch was on site to ease the nerves and coax natural laughs and smiles out of the nonprofit’s entire team.
You can often find me + Dutch in dog-friendly cafes, pubs, and workspaces across Los Angeles where he charms everyone he meets. Whether we’re traveling or keeping it local, Dutch is always by my side. You can check out his adventures at @doggdutch or catch him making the appearances on my biz account @advisoryhousedesign in the newly launched “Dutch Approved” brand campaign.
Thank you for visiting advisory house design!
Join me in celebrating advisory house design brand ambassador Dutch and the wonderful energy he brings to not only the business of design + strategy but to all the places we get to work.
We look forward to working with you bringing a bit of extra joy and creativity to your brand projects.
