Why All The Clothespins?

I know what you're thinking: Is this some kind of terrible joke about women doing laundry?

Nope! Our Famous WIMDI Clothespins™ come from our in-person events. We use 'em to attach our nametags (without snagging our hair and fancy business shirts with pins and sticky tape). Pretty smart, right?

They're WIMDI's symbol of how we adapt not-a-perfect-fit business practices to our unique needs -- with a fun twist!
