How Still Started

Still was inspired by Lisa Taft Sylvester from @sothisisflat. While on a walk with a Stand Tall AFC team at the Walk for Cancer Care in Lowell MA, a flattie commented that they wanted a billboard to show people what AFC is. And Lisa thought, I can do that—maybe not via a billboard, but in other ways that will create visibility and help women.

Lisa is co-owner of Interrobang Design, an award winning and internationally published strategic brand development and graphic design firm.

Through her design work, Lisa has been communicating information and messages to targeted audiences for over 35 years. She knows design’s power to impart information, impact lives, and build connections. She’s seen it time and again—design moves mountains. 

Lisa and Mark, her partner in life and design, have had the privilege of collaborating with wildly talented and creative colleagues through Interrobang’s work.

When Lisa asked a group of these friends if they’d be interested in helping bring Still to life, the answer was a resounding YES!

How Still is Funded?

Well, it isn’t actually. Still is what we call a no-money-fun project. Simply put, a no-money-fun project is what happens when creative friends who love to work together come up with an idea, and then make it happen—without being paid.

Why? Because it enables untethered and innovative creativity—with few parameters like a client brief or budget. The process is rewarding. The result, inspirational.

The entire Still creative team is donating their time and talent. The digital publication will be free and printed versions will be offered at cost. The motivation for this project simply isn’t money. Still is happening through collective and incredibly deep generosity—and the drive to create something meaningful.

The bigger payout for all involved just may be the experience—a moving, inspirational, uplifting, awe-inspiring day of creating, learning, bonding, flat hugs, and being part of a project that we believe will have a big impact.
