As loyal CMD fans know, we’re proud to operate on with a very strong and unique team of women. Our talented staff, from whip-sharp production artists to behind-the-scenes mavens, is filled to brim with bright, clever, kind gals who live in California and New York. We love showcasing them from time to time, and we […]

CMD runs on women power, and we’re all the stronger for it. We were delighted to spend the last few days at our New York production studio, all the way across the coast from our San Francisco HQ. While we may span time zones, our common passions, worth ethics and respect for one another keep us […]

If home is where the heart is, mine is scattered in a million little pieces around the globe. Washington state, where I was born; my childhood home of New Jersey; my adult home (and the birthplace of CMD) in San Francisco—each of these destinations has carved a spot in my heart and will always provide […]

CMD is now made in SF *and* NY, and we are thrilled about our bicoastal production. Our longtime production guru, Aryana, who has worked in our SF studio for the better part of five years, has returned to her hometown of Ithaca, New York. As she transitioned during her move, she continued working with CMD […]

Every four years the calendar bestows an extra day upon us, and today just happens to be it. We’re all about soaking up these bonus 24 hours, so we’ve turned to the blog to plan our dream day. First we’d start with our favorite coffee, followed by a bit of city exploring. Squeezing in a walk […]

We love soaking up the sun coast to coast, and though our New York (via New Jersey) run is sadly coming to a close, CMD can’t wait to get back to The Golden State. Fall in the Bay Area is all about life au soleil—BBQs, music festivals, spectacular sunsets and long walks on the beach, just […]

The post Golden State of Mind appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

Here at CMD we are proud to relish in community. Much like my time, my heart is divided between two neighborhoods: the sunny mission, where the studio is located; and the beachside outer sunset, where I unwind at home. Both spots in this sweet city encourage artistry and originality, and I have a few neighborhood […]

Fresh on the heels of our incredible World Series win last night, I can’t help but stop and marvel about the determination, talent and creativity that our fair city fosters. I am constantly inspired by the dedication to success and happiness that I see in my fellow San Franciscans. So many of our most iconic […]

The post The (Great) Little City That Could appeared first on Colleen Mauer.

This past weekend was the absolutely magical Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fest in Golden Gate Park, and I feel so rejuvenated that I simply have to sing its praises. The weather was perfect—a balmy, sunny October weekend in SF—and I relaxed in the shade of the Rooster stage all day Saturday, soaking in the tunes of […]

Autumn in upon us, and I personally couldn’t be more excited to cozy up in my favorite layers: clothes, jewelry, and glasses of wine, among otherwise. As my fellow San Franciscans are aware, fall brings many treasures, not the least of which is our delightful Indian Summer. As we wait with bated breath to see […]
