A Day In The Life

At Cobalt & Sapphire, we have a large hat collection that we rotate through throughout the day. There’s the obvious creative hat, the accounting hat, the customer relations hat, the operations hat, and the list goes on. If you are a business owner, you understand that no two days are the same but the one thing each day has in common is that we wear a lot of hats. Running our creative studio consists of much more than playing around on photoshop all day. Here’s a glimpse into a day in our lives:
