Here’s the article that I was in in the BBJ.

Dani Nordin decided to launch her Watertown-based strategic communications business the zen kitchen, after Staples Inc. terminated the contract she was doing with the Framingham-based company right before the holidays in 2005. For Nordin, a fighting spirit might be her biggest asset in dealing with the recession.
“I’m refusing to believe that the economy is going to kill my business,” Nordin said.

In the paper edition, they actually bold my business name instead of Staples’. But still.

Among the stack of holiday cards I usually receive here at the zen kitchen, I found a great one from my friend Mo: a Reproduct Zero-Waste card.  It’s a beautiful card, printed on tree-free recycled paper, and it comes in a reusable gatefold reply envelope that you can use to send the card back to the company for recycling in Shaw Carpets.

The boxed sets are a bit pricy if you’re doing a ton of holiday cards, but they have custom options available, including photo cards for as little as 90¢ each. Not too shabby!

Best Friends Cocoa, who manufacturers a delicious all-natural, low-fat cocoa mix in Arlington, MA, needed a new website that looked as tasty as their cocoa was. Using rich tones and gorgeous photography, the zen kitchen created a website that did more than tell you where to get it; it created a brand experience that made you want to drink the cocoa. The result? One tasty website, and one very happy client.
