“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.“
– Henry Adams
It’s been over a week since the passing of our dear friend and founder Shawn O’Mara and we still cannot find the words to express how we feel.
What we do know is that grief and healing are processes that take time. That process begins by honoring who Shawn O’Mara was, what he meant to those of us who worked with him, and how we hope to remember his lasting impact on our lives.
We also know that we feel grateful. We are each so fortunate to have the immeasurable influence and impact of Shawn in our lives—his creativity, his mentorship, his friendship—and to be part of the thriving agency he created, which has evolved to create so many amazing opportunities for his colleagues, students, clients, and fellow dreamers.
Shawn pioneered our unique agency family, one centered on talented students and the celebration of both individual and team success. From interns and freelancers to partners and collaborators, he cultivated numerous creative careers that will forever be part of his legacy.
We share all of our love, cherished memories, and deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and all who had a chance to know him. We hope you will continue to find your own ways to share his joy of teaching, investing in people and ideas and celebrating the infinite potential which exists all around us.
Live creative, and live on.
Sincerely,
The ocreations team
