A Welcome note from our Founder

A Welcome note from our Founder

District has a new face, but it’s far more recognizable than ever before.

We’ve grown up and grown into our skin.

Think of this change as the transition from your 20s to your 30s. Your twenties brought discovery, uncertainty, exploration, trial and error… the thirties are when things start to come to light, and the path forward is much clearer.

Our business journey has been one of growth, one that can be credited to a very dedicated team that have all helped to shape our identity to what it is today. Nothing is really changing; just that we’re finally showing who we are and our look and voice have evolved.

Welcome to District. Our connected creative community.

Joe Merlino, Founder and CEO
