    Mum

    President of Stuff and Things

    Meet Mum, whose dance moves defy all reason and boldly shatter the principles of good taste. Thankfully, her taste in design is much more palatable! Mum loves words just as much as she loves art, and she takes pride in refining content with precision and care. To her, words aren’t just letters; they’re tools of magic, humor, and heart.

    Pop-Pop

    Vice President and Idea Man

    Pop-Pop is the fearless mastermind behind our brand and social media. Much like the beloved Chem, he has a soft spot for snacks and enjoys a good nap. He brings the perfect mix of authenticity, humor, and unpredictability to our team, and it’s his vision that continues to shape the very essence of who we are.

    Chem

    Chief Executive Snack Director

    Meet Chem, the gentle pit bull with buckets of charm and 15 toes instead of the standard 16 – because who needs symmetry anyway? Originally hired as a marketing intern, he wowed us with his first project: art directing the "Meet the Team” photography. These stunning compositions secured him an instant promotion!

    Now, as our Chief Executive Snack Director, Chem vigilantly upholds snack integrity, ensuring that no crumb goes uneaten and that every snack is perfectly portioned.

    But Chem’s talents don't stop there. He also moonlights as our "Meeting Mercenary," ready to end any long-winded discussions with his snores or dramatic grumps. With Chem around, seriousness never stands a chance – laughter remains our most steadfast company policy.

We believe laughter is a connector, a healer, and a perfectly valid business strategy.

Humor isn’t fluff; it’s fuel. It opens doors, sparks creativity, and keeps our work grounded in joy.

A quote by Pop-Pop (the Syo visionary) that says "You can always smell your own." Smell Your Own was sparked by this quote.
Quote in green and brown text on a beige background reading: "We'll be defiant for defiant's sake." - Mum (the Syo voice).
A quote by Chem (SYO's resident good boy) that says “When you know, you know." Mum could finally write the copy she’d always wanted. Pop-Pop could imagine products no one asked for. And the mission would be bigger than fun: we’d use SYO to do good.
A quote by Smelly (the SYO mascot) that says “Declass the Grass!” We decided that a portion of our profits would support organizations fighting for cannabis reform. And we’d only partner with other US small businesses who care as deeply as we do.
A quote from the SYO team that says “It’s good to have you here, friend.” While we’re having the time of our lives breaking rules, our ultimate goal is simple: spread humor, warmth, and love to people like you.
