When we moved into our Costa Mesa offices earlier this year, we realized we needed some authentic Southern California decor. So we called up Amanda Phelps at RESURFACE Art and asked her to create a surfboard for Project 7.
If you are not familiar with Amanda or RESURFACE Art, Amanda creates custom art on vintage surfboards for clean water.
RESURFACE combines design, surfing and innovation to create custom art on vintage surfboards while giving back to the greater good through a partnership with World Vision. Each surfboard is a hand-painted, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork that is customized to fit your personal style. When you invest in a RESURFACE surfboard, you are helping to provide clean water to an African community in need.
We love RESURFACE and that Amanda has found a way to use her incredible talent to make beautiful art and help the world!
She created this video so you can watch the Project 7 surfboard come to life.
I was recently asked to paint a surfboard for a cause-related company called Project 7. Everything you buy from them, including things like coffee and gum, they donate back towards one of their 7 areas of need. They understand the immense weight of social injustice and are taking huge strides in making a global impact. Thank you Tyler and Lindsay for bringing me into your family. Keep giving!
Scott Patt, a visual artist and highly sought after creative who has worked for brands like Converse, Nike, and Hurley, will begin on January 2 as Project 7's chief creative. In this role, Patt will be responsible for the oversight Project 7's brand vision.
"Scott is one of the most talented creatives working with lifestyle brands today. Design, packaging and story are key elements of our brand," said Merrick. "Bringing someone of Scott's caliber to oversee creative will allow us expand the impact of our 'products for good.'"
I met Tyler Merrick when he spoke in the chapel at John Brown University. I absolutely fell in love with the company, cause, mission, etc. Since then I have been 'shouting from the rooftops' about Project 7 to all of my friends, family and really anyone I meet!!
Each year, we buy teacher gifts for my siblings to give at Christmas time. We also keep gifts at the house for anyone who visits. Generally something small, under $10. I thought Project 7 gum, mints & coffee fit the bill perfectly this year.
So that's what we did. Between my mom and I, we purchased 12 cases of Gum, 13 cases of Mints (my boyfriend goes through a tube a week!), and two cases of frac pacs. I even used images from project7.com and created "wrapping paper" from recycled paper to make the wrapping with and 'Voila!' We had gifts.
The best part? I did the math and our gifts planted 130 fruit trees and provided 84 meals in American communities, 3 people with clean water for a year, and 3 days of food, education and healthcare for an orphan. We had gifts, gifts that gave back.
We all love Project 7 and appreciate that we can do good while consuming them!
