To whomever said, ‘you can’t choose your family,’ try telling that to Tarl & Amie; founders of Blood. Co-workers for ten years. Friends for many more.
Blood is a transfusion of the best of Tarl and the better of Amie. It’s branding and activation meets styling and interior design. It’s passion meets pride. Doubled.
At the heart is a simple desire to tell beautiful, visual stories with the best talent in the business. Not just Tarl and Amie, but a network of fresh blood they’ve met along the way. Talented creatives, passionate producers, great friends.
Put simply, other like-minded people who pour their heart into their work. Those are our kind of people – our kind of family.
