THG Facility Design/Show Set Associate Teena Sauvo

THG Facility Design/Show Set Associate Teena Sauvola (@theartofteenasauvola) shares a recent experience: "Visited Sea Ranch, CA with some friends last week. Sea Ranch is a planned community that started in the 1960s known for a specific architectural style. All homes, establishments, and even the street signs and fences adhere to the agreed upon style. It was inspiring to see a community be diligently intentional to how their surrounding environment looks and feels. The timber frame structures place emphasis on the surrounding natural beauty and the main views in every building are faced toward the sea. It was a great place to visit and the drive up the PCH is always to die for."

On this #MemorialDay, THG honors those that have served in the fight for peace and freedom across the globe. People like THG CEO Phil Hettema's father, Dave Hettema, a B-17 bomber pilot who flew 35 missions over Europe during World War II. His story, along with 43 others, comes to life in ‘Beyond All Boundaries’ at the @wwiimuseum in New Orleans. A THG designed interactive experience, the show uniquely brings the war that changed the world to life, honoring the brave soldiers who fought in the conflict.

#IndustryInsight: THG VP of Marketing @epstein_m shares his thoughts on a recent @Blooloop conversation with Robert Marick, Executive Vice President of Global Consumer Products and Experiences at @MGM:
“Robert makes some great points on the deep connection an LBE can make with the consumer where they can ‘live the experience.’ If we are indeed in a post-COVID world, this is what I believe everyone will be hungry for this summer.” Read the full article through the link in our bio.

THG's Creative Director Stefan Lawrence (@stefanpatrik) shares a moment of inspiration: "On a recent trip through Oregon with my family, we stopped by the Mt. Angel Abbey which has a TINY free museum hidden around the back. We had a great time looking through their collection. Just goes to show that there are hidden attraction gems everywhere – it’s well worth a visit if you’re passing through." #InspiringTHG
