Our Earth Day Resolution: To Be More Green

We are in the midst of a lot of changes around here. In January, we changed our name. Currently, we are undergoing some major changes to our space. Every day at Pulse Creative Partners, we strive to make an impact. However, our newest resolution is to make less of an impact. In honor of Earth Month and the world around us, Pulse Creative Partners has decided to reduce our ecological footprint and encourage those around us to do the same.

In addition to evaluating each and every project we work on to determine the best use of resources, we will also be making some changes in the way we use and reuse materials here at work. Below is a list of some of the small changes we have resolved to implement at our office, and we ask you to consider which of these actions you can start doing at your workplace or at home.

- Recycling any materials we can.
- Printing less, and double-sided when possible.
- Turning off our computers, and unplugging them whenever possible.
- Turning off lights when leaving rooms.
- Using recycled paper products.
- Using environmentally-friendly cleaning supplies.

We will continue to make changes in an effort to be more “green”, and will be sure to keep you updated on our progress. In the meantime, we would love to hear about what your workplace is doing to reduce your impact on the environment as we post tips for others on our site.

Beyond Our Space and Into Yours: Launching TruForm

Stefan Bean has always had an interest in interior design and corporate space planning, but until our own space needed a face lift, there had never really been an outlet for him to explore his interests and the processes involved. With our renovation on the verge of completion and all of the planning and design that has gone into making our space reflect our brand personality, it dawned on us that this experience might be something we could turn around and make available to our clients. After much thought and consideration, it was apparent that we needed to add interior and environmental design to our service offerings, but to market it as a new division. Therefore, TruForm was created.

TruForm is a new division of Pulse Creative Partners headed up by Pulse President, Stefan Bean, that is solely focused on injecting spaces - both commercial and residential - with the perfect blend of form and function. TruForm believes that every space should be reflective of your personality, brand, style and daily routines. We will be careful to consider every detail of your life as we design the perfect space for you to live, work, entertain and relax in.

If you have been considering redesigning your space (at home or at work) consider TruForm for your next interior transformation. Please contact us 317.885.2827 or via email with any questions you may have or to set up a consultation with Stefan.

More Renovation Updates: Lobby

As you can see, we've been busy. You have probably seen some of the other before and currently in the works photos, but this one actually shows something mostly complete. Below is a photo of what our lobby looked like before the renovation began. Now we have painted some new colors, put down a hardwood floor in the entry and underneath the reception desk. This time next week we should have all of our carpet and will be moving back into a more conventional office set up.



Keep checking back for more before and after as we wind down our renovation.
