  • "Little Things was the perfect partner to help us bring to life a nearly 2000 square foot mural on our South Pittsburg, TN campus. We knew what we wanted to do—but not how to do it—and Teal’s experience and expertise was invaluable in guiding us through the project. She helped us craft our RFP, gather proposals, and establish a jurying process, all while simultaneously looking out for both Lodge’s and the artists’ best interests. The end result is a mural we (and our community) couldn’t be more proud of.”

    -Daniel Skolfield, Senior Manager of Brand Creation, Lodge Cast Iron

  • “Working with Teal at Little Things Lab was a tremendous help to River City Company when developing the first Rock the Riverfront in 2022. Her creative mind created pathways to adding elements of arts and culture to the event, but she was also able to assist with key logistic planning of the event. We would highly recommend working with Teal and LTL on any project involving the broad community.”

    -Dawn Hjelseth, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, River City Company

  • "I enjoyed working with Little Things Lab because they have so much positive energy and great ideas! Teal has a lot of great connections that were helpful in moving our project forward. She also brings so much experience to the table which gave us a great platform for ideas."
