Behind Your Design Partners with MSU to Design Custom Seed Packets for Veterans


Behind Your Design is honored to partner with Michigan State University to design seed packets with custom packaging as part of their SNAP Outreach for Veterans program giveaway. The goal of this program is to bring a sense of joy, community pride, and health & therapeutic benefits to veterans by honing their gardening skills. Free seeds were distributed by MSU extension veteran outreach staff to veterans and according to Dr. Adam Ingrao, Army veteran and agricultural entomologist, “the seeds were filling a very important role in the lives of veterans by providing food, a sense of self-reliance, and the therapy of connecting with the land."


“Veteran recipients shared that they loved growing produce from seed, enjoyed working together on gardening projects, and have relished the opportunity to share their harvest with their communities.”


Here are a few key benefits of the program:


  • Provides a source of fresh fruits & vegetables rich in nutrients.
  • Promotes physical activity through tilling, planting, weeding, watering and harvesting.
  • Spending time in nature through gardening can increase mental well-being, mental clarity, feelings of reward, and reduce stress.

Let’s be honest—when’s the last time you actually looked at the “Meet the Team” section on your website? Not skimmed it. Not clicked past it. I mean really looked. If it’s been a few years, there’s a good chance that what’s up there doesn’t match the reality of your team today. Maybe Susan grew out her bangs, or Greg hasn’t worn a tie since 2019. Maybe two of the smiling faces in your header moved on ages ago—and yet, there they are, frozen in pixels like ghosts of small business past. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We've all been there. But here's the thing: your team photos aren't just filler. They're first impressions. They're trust-builders. And if they’re out-of-date, awkward, or clearly cropped from someone's wedding—well, you’re not exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Let’s talk about why updating those photos is one of the simplest, most effective ways to level up how people see your business. That “Stock Photo” Energy? Yeah, People Can Tell You know what’s worse than old team photos? Generic ones. We’ve all seen those painfully stiff group shots—everyone lined up like they’re auditioning for a corporate crime drama. Or worse, the fake handshake photos. (Why are those still a thing?) Customers and clients can smell fake a mile away. In a time when people crave authenticity—real faces, real stories—those overly polished, clearly staged images just don’t cut it anymore. What works? Real teams, real smiles, real settings. We recently worked with Women’s Integrated Health Care , which has locations in Grand Blanc, Clarkston, Davison, Fenton, Marlette, and Sandusky. Their team was incredible—warm, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Our photo shoot focused on capturing that exact energy. Not just headshots, but moments that reflect how they care for their patients and support each other. That authenticity? It jumps off the screen.
