CMD runs on woman power, and we’re all the stronger for it. We were delighted to spend the last few days at our New York Production Studio, all the way across the country from our San Francisco HQ. While we may span time zones, our common passions, worth ethics and respect for one another keep us closely tied together. Though Colleen grew up on the east coast, she’d only been to upstate New York once before this trip. Exploring the far northeastern side of the country (just as it’s starting to bloom!) was a wonderful treat.

Have you visited Ithaca in the spring? We’d love to hear about your favorite spots in the comments below.
