At 15 years young, Largo is the most senior (and arguably wisest) member of the team. A seasoned professional in lounging, sunspot chasing, and strategic snack detection, Largo brings a calming presence to even the busiest workdays. He’s known for his slow-but-purposeful strut through the studio, his unmatched ability to find the coziest spot in any room, and his gentle, soulful eyes that seem to say, "You're doing great, sweetie."
Largo may not answer emails or join meetings (unless treats are involved), but his loyalty, charm, and comforting snuggles are a daily reminder of what really matters: staying grounded, staying kind, and always making time for a good nap.
