It’s 2011. Your friend is the community manager at a new media startup disrupting the birthday card space. They’re launching a limited run of 38 monochromatic animal shape prints. The proceeds go to charity. Your friend got the job after commenting a lot on the company’s Tumblr.

My friend made out okay when the company was bought by groupon but the taxes on the stock options were brutal

I still use the little web app she somehow found time to make while she worked there.

I still have one of the freebie monochromatic animals, which were too beautiful to use so I kept mine in a drawer, in a little striped paper bag, like sweets came in, in the 50s. Sealed shut with a cutesy sticker of the company logo.
