Quitting—as some might define it, is the act of giving up or admitting to some form of defeat. As such, ‘people who quit’ tend to be regarded as losers, wanderers, weaklings, or altogether less-ambitious persons. And yet, there are thousands of stories recalling times in which people were able to increase their quality of life, just by making a pivot. 

In the Fall of 2020, myself and a few peers banded together to start a design collective that would eventually find the name Quitters. Here, we would define a space that allowed us to move, make, and speak freely, whilst exploring ‘quitting’ as an act of empowerment.
