Our name is based on a simple concept.  Start with a project (i.e. a box), fill it with all of your spirit, energy, and creativity until the project comes to fruition.  Then empty the box and start again.  The Box Is Empty is a view of the process.  All possibilities are open, creativity is unending.  Surprise the box's recipient with the gift of new experience.  The Box Is Empty.
