Meet 405 Mermaid Tracey Zeeck
I’m pretty sure we all know Tracey Zeeck – or else you know Tracey once removed. That’s not just how tight knit OKC is, it’s how involved TZ is in the goings on of the ever-evolving 405. And if you don’t know her yet, this is your lucky day, mah friend. I’m pleased to make the introduction. […]

Meet Day Designer Mermaid Whitney English
There are planners and seat-of-the-pantsers. Since I was a little girl, I’ve been a planner though I obviously spent ample time mind wandering, too. I had no idea what a Type A personality meant at the time, but I rely … Continue reading →
