Our Story

Just a city girl, Orion from the East Village, and a small-town boy, Sam from Freehold, NJ—our journeys first crossed at NYU. Our curious personalities pulled us onto the same nerdy robotics team, where we built a Martian rover together. After graduation, we went our separate ways to start our careers, never expecting the real mission would begin in the heart of the city. Three cosmic subway encounters later, one taco date launched us into orbit. Love, like gravity, has kept us together ever since—through countless adventures. From China to Niagara Falls, Texas to Portland, Japan to Orlando, we’ve traveled far and wide. Now, we’ve landed softly in New Jersey, building a little life together—and still writing our story, one adventure at a time.
