What Is Creativity?
Where Does It Come From?
Whats The Meaning?
STAUNCH INDUSTRIES is the creative story of our lives, it’s a journey of fulfilment and expression locked deep in our soul, the psyche we use to navigate these paths, conversations, and dreams. Our logos, a wild Sea Stallion, our creative spirit driving, inspiring, and haunting us. The Kelpie, a mythical aquatic creature from Scottish folklore past, intertwines with the deep connection we have to the sea and the search for freedom of expression. “You may ride the Sea Stallion, but you will never control.” We believe it’s very important to have a healthy work-play balance, and we have created STAUNCH INDUSTRIES for individuals who share our passion for adventure and self-expression.
We are proud to share our creative journey with you and invite you to join us on this adventure.
