Peer Recognition

Community is everything—ours and yours. And in the spirit of celebration, we’re introducing Peer Recognition: a spotlight on the coworkers that make work exciting, inspiring, joyful, and even a little bit easier (in the ways only a work friend can). It’s like Employee of the Month, but so much better.

Monica Nguyen

Design Director, Boll & Branch

“She leads her life with intention and encourages—even teaches—others to do the same; this commitment to intention permeates every aspect of her being, including her work at Boll & Branch, where she fully leans into the company’s commitment to animal welfare and fair labor practices.

“She is also a poet, a makeup artist, and an overall powerhouse creative who dreams big dreams and makes them a reality and serves as a living reminder of one of my favorite Anaïs Nin quotes: ‘(…) I am in accord with the surrealists, searching for the marvelous.’

“Monica is in constant pursuit of the marvelous, and when she finds it, she shares it with others and encourages them to seek it for themselves.”
