Fiesta Forever!

It’s Fiesta time at S Design and this year is a little different.

We’re gathering from 4:30 to 5:30PM (Oklahoma time) on Friday on Zoom for a Fiesta Happy Hour and we’d love to see you.

This year marks our 22nd Fiesta and our 27th year in business. None of it would be possible without you. You inspire us, some of you hire us, and all of you make our lives brighter.

Since gathering in person is still a little dicey, we wanted to send you a beautiful piece of digital art we commissioned. It’s cheerful and bright and reminds us of you.

S Design Founder Sarah Sears collaborated with Oslo-based artist Alyssa Del Valle to create this piece, entitled “Fiesta Forever.” Its inspiration is the concept of community, the beauty of the desert and the organic flow of creativity.

We hope you love it as much as we do, and we look forward to seeing you Friday!

DM us for the Zoom link, yo!
