"Universal Threads" is a series that explores the commonality running through everything we do. In our most recent instalment, "Community Questions", we invite our UW social media audiences, subscribers, and even our own team, to ask us anything they’d like to know about Universal Works (within reason…). We've sifted through the questions sent in, keeping a tally on the ones that popped up the most, and then caught our co-founders on camera answering them.

 

Whether you sent your question in via email, telephone, handwritten letter, zoom call, or paper plane, we hope you enjoy hearing a bit more about what makes Universal Works, Universal Works.

 

Quickfire Questions


To wrap things up on this current series, David and Stephanie answer three final questions. They give us a little insight into how it all started, the importance of customer service, as well as transparency and sharing the good stuff you discover, both in business and in life. We hope you enjoyed this series of Universal Threads. Stay tuned, and check out the full video and archive imagery below. Enjoy.
