Client Typically Hasn't Liked Blogs We've Written About Baby Skin Care.

There's a large hunk of homo skin in the freezer. It'south in a plastic-wrapped package and labeled as a "full thickness" sample from a 67-year-old woman. It takes a flat, rectangular form that looks similar a slab of salary, about two inches thick. It'due south from the woman's back; she apparently died of cancer.

This skin will be doused in hyaluronic acid or perhaps slathered with vitamin C, ii of the virtually pop and effective ingredients in serums, moisturizers, and all matter of face potions today. The skin care company Deciem spent hundreds of dollars and jumped through many mandated regulatory hoops to obtain this sample, which was donated to a visitor chosen Science Care. Dazzler companies and labs often utilize samples like this one, or sometimes constructed pare or lab-grown peel cells, to test the absorption of their products.

This item sample is housed in a light-filled laboratory at the new Deciem headquarters in Toronto. Dominicus streams in and highlights the vials, technical instruments, and powdered jars of chemicals that are scattered effectually.

In the 7 years since its founding, Deciem has totally changed how we think most and buy pare care. Thanks mostly to its biggest make, the Ordinary, information technology's allowed a new generation of consumers to understand ingredients and, possibly more radically, offered them in ridiculously inexpensive formulations. It'southward championed transparency in an manufacture that wants you to retrieve expensive products are ameliorate — an industry where inviting me, a reporter, to poke around in the skin samples and run into how formulas are made is unheard of.

Last twelvemonth, Deciem was reportedly on track to do $330 million in sales. (To put that into perspective, the buzzy mattress company Casper sold a little over $350 million in 2018.) Estée Lauder, the enormous and enormously influential conglomerate that owns brands like Clinique and MAC, took a minority investment in the visitor in 2017, a rarity for the beauty giant and a sign of extreme confidence. The brand was ripe for a global explosion.

The vertically integrated company develops formulas in its on-site lab.

In December, I came to Deciem HQ for some closure on almost four years of reporting. I've been covering the visitor since 2016, when it started to proceeds momentum with shoppers. The story I've sought to tell and follow has ostensibly been almost the business and the culture of beauty. Merely somewhere down the line, Deciem's charismatic and complicated founder Brandon Truaxe hijacked his company'southward narrative.

As Deciem'southward contour grew, Brandon's increasingly erratic and bizarre behavior became media fodder as company drama played out on Deciem's heavily followed Instagram account. Information technology was likewise playing out in my inbox, where Brandon bombarded me with emails, sending his own ramblings and copying me on official concern conducted with his lawyers and Estée Lauder.

I was one of the first to report on the brand and had already been in regular communication with not simply its founder but many others at Deciem. I soon found myself a minor actor in the company'south story, being tagged in Brandon'southward posts and showing up in screenshots of emails he'd sent, an uncomfortable and confusing position for a journalist to exist in. I was also worried about him, and had reason to be.

He died at the age of 40 afterwards falling from the balcony of his Toronto condo in January 2019, a few months subsequently being ousted from his company. It was a story I broke hither at Phonation. A year later, it'south surreal being at the Deciem office, this place that Brandon dreamed of, with the company thriving and its bear upon felt across the entire $532 billion beauty manufacture.

Brandon, born Ali Roshan, grew up in Iran and moved to Canada in the 1990s when he was in his early 20s. He was trained as a computer developer, and at the starting time of his career, he did work for a beauty corporation. While there, he became enlightened of and bellyaching by the high prices the company was charging for products made from inexpensive ingredients. He besides saw an opportunity and launched his own luxury line called Euoko in 2006. He charged more than $500 for some of the products.

When Euoko failed, Brandon teamed upward with new partners on a more than affordable pare intendance brand called Indeed Labs. He left in 2012 after a falling-out with the team, the details of which have never been aired publicly. I used to ask him about these onetime business organization ventures, but he was ever vague; people who worked with him during this menstruum won't proceed the record to talk about those years. In that location are legal documents that exist effectually some of Euoko'southward dealings and a press release stating that he sold it for $72 million. It doesn't say to whom.

But and then came Deciem.

CEO Nicola Kilner (right) was an early employee at Deciem and rose quickly under founder Brandon Truaxe.

Subsequently leaving Indeed Labs, Brandon'southward noncompete prohibited him from formulating facial skin intendance products for two years. He got around it by launching a brand called Inhibitif, whose products prevented hair regrowth, a supplement drink brand called Fountain, and an anti-aging hand intendance brand chosen Hand Chemistry, all under the umbrella of a company called Deciem (tagline: "The Aberrant Beauty Company"). His plan was e'er to incubate and launch multiple brands contemporaneously, a difficult and unusual tactic in dazzler, where research and development can take years.

NIOD, the company'south marquee skin care brand, came to market right after his noncompete expired, but it was the launch of the Ordinary in 2016 that changed the game. This is when I and thousands of other people who lurked on skin intendance forums and kept up on industry news became aware of the company. My cringey-in-hindsight headline from September 2016, a calendar month after the launch, was "Deciem Might Be the Near Thrilling Thing to Happen to Skincare in a Long Time." It managed to be hyperbolic while also hedging my bets. And I was correct.

Deciem quoted my headline on its social media accounts and in the press section of its company site; I was suddenly on Brandon'due south radar. Mine was ane of the earliest stories about the brand, and soon others appeared in magazines and on websites, propelling the Ordinary forward. A key takeaway in these pieces was how ridiculously cheap the line was; consumers ate it upwardly. Estée Lauder came calling not long afterward and made a landmark investment in Deciem.

Earlier the Ordinary, known just as "TO" by its fans, the cheapest skin care formulas came from drugstore brands like Neutrogena and Fifty'Oréal. Marketing focused on flowery descriptions that suggested vague benefits. If ingredients were mentioned, they were normally proprietary blends with made-upwards names similar Pro-Xylane. Cost tags regularly pushed by $twenty, even for mass-market formulas. In the upper echelons of the skin care marketplace, brands like La Mer and SK-II charged hundreds of dollars for their products, paying celebrities like Cate Blanchett millions to endorse their lines.

The Ordinary's bestseller, a niacinamide and zinc blend, costs $5.90. In fact, the majority of the brand's products bank check out at under $x. They contain only a few active ingredients, and tend to be ones that accept been used and understood for years, similar vitamin C (a brightening antioxidant), retinol (a fine-line fighter), and hyaluronic acid (a hydrator). They're edifice blocks. There are no vague promises on the bottles, no fancy masking fragrances, no celebrity spokespeople, no glossy ads. The product descriptions online read like a pharmacology textbook: "A high 10% concentration of this vitamin is supported in the formula by zinc table salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid to residual visible aspects of sebum action." Translation: Information technology will make you less greasy. Pare intendance had never been sold similar this, or for such a low price.

Deciem never imagined the make would take off the way it did, at present driving about fourscore percent of its business. In fact, Brandon saw the launch as a way to snub his nose at the rest of the skin care manufacture. At the time, NIOD, whose most expensive product costs $xc, was Deciem'due south "crown gem, where the innovation is," according to Nicola Kilner, Deciem's current CEO. It uses compounds and molecules that aren't common; formulas are improved upon frequently, with dissimilar versions listed online like software updates.

Deciem at present has 35 retail stores across the world, from San Francisco to Sydney.

NIOD was being sold next to national brands that marketed expensive formulas containing basic ingredients like vitamin C as innovative. In other words, workhorses dressed up as bear witness horses.

"The Ordinary only launched to make a marketing point," says Nicola. "We never thought it would exist a commercial brand."

Price markups are high in beauty, oft hundreds of percent points higher than what the products cost to produce, merely no one talks most it. Ingredient suppliers make brands sign NDAs, and while brands are required to list their ingredients on labels, many don't share concentrations. Unlike the vast majority of beauty companies, Deciem is vertically integrated and owns its factory. Information technology formulates, produces, and packages its products in house. This allows it to bring products to market more quickly, keep formulas individual, and cutting downwardly on price. "The idea was, permit'south start to communicate these trusted ingredients because they're so affordable," says Nicola.

The Ordinary hit at a time when the pare care discourse was about to explode into the mainstream. Online forums like Reddit'south r/SkincareAddiction and r/AsianBeauty (they accept most ii million followers combined) were already deeply into Korean skin care, which gained traction in the Us around 2014. K-dazzler, equally information technology'southward called, advocates a 10-footstep routine with product categories similar essences and ampoules, which had never existed in Western routines. People in these online communities dug into ingredient claims and experimented with regimens.

"I wanted to stock the Ordinary from the infinitesimal I heard the make story, but nosotros took some time to test the products earlier launching considering it actually did audio likewise expert to be true," says Alexia Inge, a co-founder of Cult Beauty, the British e-commerce site known for stocking beauty brands right equally they're condign hot.

She already carried NIOD, and was beginning to see a change in how her customers approached buying peel care. "A decade ago Cult Dazzler's customers were asking, 'What's the best moisturizer for dry skin?'" she says. "Now they want to know the size of the hyaluronic acrid molecules." The Ordinary played perfectly into this dynamic, at a price point that made experimentation painless.

Personalization of skin care was becoming widespread, with people no longer wanting to settle for i-size-fits-all creams. And subsequently the 2016 election and the anarchy of Brexit, choosing the correct formulas, whether for efficacy or for the ritual itself, became associated with cocky-care. Jia Tolentino wrote almost this miracle for the New Yorker: "I bought it, along with a agglomeration of other stuff, unsure if I was ownership peel care or a psychological rubber blanket, or how much of a departure between the ii there really is."

As the popularity of forums like Reddit, the early K-dazzler bloggers like Skin&Tonics and Fifty Shades of Snail, and the viral Google peel care dr. from The Strategist's Rio Viera-Newton take proven, peer-to-peer recommendations are now critical for building make trust in the beauty world. The internet has democratized how we buy then many things, and skin care is no exception. Magazines and celebrities are no longer the arbiters of knowledge — your friendly neighborhood obsessives are.

One of the nearly influential spaces for Deciem has been the Facebook group the Ordinary & Deciem Chat Room, which popped upward entirely independent of the company. Not to audio like a broken record, but this too is non a affair that happens in dazzler. Sure, there are tons of general beauty forums; however, there are not many brand-specific ones, and certainly non at such a scale.

The group now boasts over 129,000 followers and has inspired several copycats. Its founder, Jo Ingram, is a 45-twelvemonth-old British woman who has lived in Spain for the past 17 years. Back in January 2017, like so many others, she was interested in putting together a skin care routine and stumbled across a post on Facebook that mentioned the Ordinary.

"Once you go to the website and run across all the products and prices, yous want role of it," Jo told me over the phone. "Information technology has the most amazing outcome on you lot, and all yous practice is talk about the Ordinary."

Jo found Deciem'southward ingredients and product descriptions disruptive, so she reached out to the company to ask for help. While waiting for a response, she started a Facebook group for her friends to take conversations most the products. It gained followers outside of Jo's circle through give-and-take of mouth. Eventually, Deciem got wind that it existed and Brandon himself did a Q&A with fans on the page. It was supposed to be a ii-hour live issue, but he spent a full mean solar day answering every single comment and question. The thread now has ane,200 comments.

Jo describes the Conversation Room as her total-fourth dimension job. It has an accompanying Instagram account and a website, where she offers sample regimens based on skin concerns and publishes posts on the nuts of the brand. She earns money through affiliate commissions and from retailers who advertise on Instagram and in the group. She does not, however, accept money straight from Deciem; it's important to her that the group remains financially independent from the brand so that it can continue to publish frank fellow member reviews.

Deciem's products, especially those from the Ordinary, have inspired a fervent fandom.

She describes several types of people who engage on her platforms. There are the superfans, who "go on all their empty bottles and boxes" and mail pictures of them on Instagram. There are those who really dig into the formulas. Then at that place are those who want something that works merely don't care about molecule sizes or concentrations. These people, she says, "buy considering it'south inexpensive and want to exist told what to utilize while they're still learning." A few weeks afterwards they make an initial purchase, she'll see these newbies helping others.

She sometimes plans her vacations effectually where the Facebook group'due south moderators are located, so she can meet up with them IRL. "I've seen many people start up their own groups, pages, websites, and Instagram accounts. Some of the moderators were already bloggers and now accept YouTube channels and podcasts," she says. "Information technology'southward truly amazing watching the mods and also the members of the group grow, all from the interest in skin intendance, which goes back to Deciem."

She acknowledges that not every product is for everyone, and people do excoriate Deciem products that don't work for them. (The niacinamide product, despite being the brand's bestseller, can be peculiarly divisive.) She's proud of what she calls the group'southward "honest reviews." Still, she says, "I don't know any other skin care brand that has this event on people."

People who knew Brandon describe him every bit a genius. He was frenetic, never standing still, talking fast, e'er expressive. (Sentry this for a perfect encapsulation of his mannerisms.) He was lanky and favored flashy T-shirts from designers like Diesel. Over the years, his face became more than sculpted-looking and his hair more lush. He loved emoji, especially the blue butterfly, which you lot can discover on display in the Chicago Deciem store every bit an homage, and his emails were some of the most entertaining I've ever read. He could perfectly mimic legalese only with rhymes and clever wordplay. Even the virtually sarcastic or cursory notes were signed "Smiles" or "Hugs" — which could be read equally sincere or sinister, depending on the tone of the electronic mail — whether they were to his friends or Leonard Lauder, Estée Lauder'south son and the chair emeritus of her namesake visitor.

I first met Brandon when I moderated a beauty panel he was speaking on in late 2017. I was excited to talk to him about the company, simply had no inkling just how much contact we'd have or how much my professional person life would circumduct around him over the next year. I didn't like him, necessarily, but I was still drawn to him. He was funny sometimes, and unpredictable nearly of the time. He had a lot of charisma, only he could also exist cruel, lashing out at journalists, social media followers, and his employees.

Brandon'due south troubles began in earnest in January 2018, when the company was called out by Redditors for seemingly picking a fight with the prestige pare intendance company Boozer Elephant over marula oil prices. Their evidence was a social media ad that read, "One would have to be drunkard to overpay for marula."

Brandon apologized to Drunk Elephant via the Deciem Instagram — he had always contributed to the brand's long, rambling captions simply had officially taken over the account effectually this time — and and so the tone of his posts got weirder. While on a trip to Morocco, he posted pictures of garbage and a dead animal. He also ended a manufacturing relationship with Tijion Esho, a British dermatologist for whom Deciem produced lip products, on the public brand's Instagram. Over the side by side few months, his social media antics became the beauty net's favorite reality prove.

I became fascinated by Brandon and Deciem's trajectory, breaking several stories near the company and appearing on Boob tube as a Deciem expert. During this tumultuous stretch, Brandon and I ofttimes saw each other in person, spoke on the phone, and emailed. Most brands continue a tight PR leash on their founders, never allowing straight access to them. But he wanted to speak to the press and would talk to me whenever I asked. He often forwarded me correspondence about company business.

He could be defensive about pieces I'd written; other times, he'd tell me gossip nearly employees at the visitor. Some of the emails he shared were incredibly personal and salacious. Equally the yr progressed, he started CC'ing other journalists, bloggers, lawyers, government agencies, and entire teams of people at retailers and companies Deciem worked with on long, confusing diatribes.

In Feb, later being contacted by several quondam employees, I reported on brewing issues at the company, including allegations of bullying by Brandon and Riyadh Swedaan, the warehouse manager at the time. (Afterwards Brandon'south death, Riyadh told the National Postal service that they had been a couple; the paper noted Brandon had publicly denied being gay. Riyadh is no longer with the company, according to his LinkedIn; he declined to speak to me for this story. Deciem did non provide more details on the situation.)

Before long after, Brandon fired Nicola. Nicola had been 1 of Brandon's offset and most prized Deciem employees. He hired her abroad from her position equally a buyer at U.k. drugstore chain Boots when she was in her early 20s to be a brand managing director at Deciem. Within half dozen months, he had elevated her to co-CEO. Later Nicola's exit, the newly hired CFO Stephen Kaplan — a veteran finance pro in the consumer goods space and someone the team affectionately chosen the "adult in the room" — subsequently resigned, upset that she had been terminated. Deciem lost accounts at Sephora and some of its early smaller retailers as a consequence of the instability at the company.

Brandon became more defiant, and the ensuing months were chaotic. He posted disturbing Instagram videos to both his personal and the company accounts, routinely insulted Deciem's followers, and became ever more than paranoid, asserting people were post-obit him and alluding to "financial crimes" within the visitor. He was hospitalized several times only was never kept long; he told Canada's Financial Post that he had used crystal meth in the by. His exploits captivated the press, which compared him to Elon Musk and Donald Trump. At one betoken, QAnon got involved when Brandon started tagging the president in posts.

The company recently moved into a 75,000-square-foot office Brandon had designed before his death.

I grew increasingly concerned about Brandon and others at the company, whom I had gotten to know in the course of my reporting. Employees and people connected with the brand spoke to me off the tape to tell me how worried they were, too. I'd never encountered annihilation like this in my most-decade as a journalist. My editor and I constantly analyzed events and emails to decide if they were actually newsworthy or tabloid forage. I often asked Brandon if he was okay, if he had someone to talk to during those times he seemed peculiarly distressed, just he would just become angry at me. People shut to him told me he reacted similarly to them.

In October, Brandon announced on Instagram that he would be shutting down Deciem. Estée Lauder went to courtroom to get him temporarily removed from the company and procured a restraining society against him, preventing him from going nigh Estée Lauder properties and Leonard Lauder, whom he had threatened. Nicola was appointed interim CEO when she was seven months meaning; she brought Stephen back, too.

Mira Singh, Deciem's director of retail, says that during this time her customer service squad was dealing with 4,000 to 6,000 calls and emails a calendar week, well-nigh 3 to four times the usual volume. Sales increased too, since customers were panicked the company was going to get out of business. They stocked up on their favorites, further stressing the company to keep upwards with need. It led to theories that this was all a savvy marketing move to sell more products. Jo of the Deciem Chat Room says it was "ane of the hardest years of my life."

Information technology was a difficult period for everyone involved with the company. Nicola hoped the farthermost moves initiated by Estée Lauder would convince Brandon to seek treatment. "Nothing made a departure," she says, getting a piddling teary. "You remember maybe if he realizes he'due south at the brink of losing things, that's what it's going to take him to become the help he needs."

My last real chat with Brandon was in the summer of 2018, during one of his visits to New York Urban center, a few months before his ouster. He talked mostly well-nigh those supposed "fiscal crimes" and ane of his longtime investors who he felt had wronged him. He was fairly breathless, and at one point suggested that I non dig besides much into the company anymore. The interaction left me feeling vaguely threatened and tremendously unsettled.

Before I exited the hotel foyer where nosotros had met, he told me in a past-then-rare moment of clarity and prescience, "The best managers are the ones that tin can be abroad and things continue. That'southward how much I trust and love our team."

About six months later, I broke the story of Brandon's death, which then circulated widely in the mainstream printing. The members of the Deciem Chat Room posted condolences and loving homages to Brandon in many languages. I was fix to never write well-nigh the company again.

Nicola is a petite blonde with an English accent who radiates empathy; there is an earnestness and innocence about her. Temperamentally, she is Brandon's polar contrary. She tells me about her plans for the company at the 75,000-square-foot open concept office Brandon conceptualized and for which he purchased many of the interior elements before he died. Next to us is a plaid felt dog he bought at a design shop in Amsterdam, an sometime sewing machine, and a stack of books piled to the double-meridian ceiling. He envisioned walls of books instead of drywall, but instead there are these book pillars scattered throughout.

A year after Brandon's expiry, Deciem'due south supply still hasn't caught up with the demand for its products, specially now that the Ordinary is sold at Ulta, Sephora, and twice equally many other retailers as it was a year ago; it also has 35 of its own stores, which take been temporarily airtight in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. Up until mid-March, the company was in the process of adding more equipment to its factory, shoring up its safety measures, and looking at the potential of opening upwardly another manufacturing facility down the line.

Meanwhile, it has discontinued or paused some of its early brands, though it plans to launch a body intendance make called Loopha and a line for babies and adults with sensitive skin chosen Hippooh. Before those, it hopes to debut a brand later on this year consisting of inexpensive "powdered extracts." The company also has plans to release the signature aroma that is sprayed in every Deciem store as a fragrance, called Shop. Information technology'south been a fan request ever since the stores opened. Deciem very much wants to continue to be an incubator and find its side by side the Ordinary.

CFO Stephen Kaplan (right) resigned from Deciem after Brandon fired Nicola in 2018. When Nicola returned to the company, she brought Stephen along with her.

The mural has both aptitude to Deciem's volition and go more competitive since it hit the scene, and I've seen a marked change in how brands toll and marketplace their products. Legacy brands like L'Oréal have plant themselves playing grab-upwardly, hiring Eva Longoria to teach u.s.a. how to pronounce HY-A-LUR-ON-IC acrid in commercials, for example, two years later on Deciem released the Ordinary. Information technology's now expected that brands share full ingredient lists online and even concentrations of active ingredients. The beauty startup darling Glossier faced some backlash for this in 2018 for not revealing the verbal proportions of different types of acids in 1 of its products.

Copycats have followed, too. Brands similar the Inkey Listing and Good Molecules launched with similar concepts and price points. LVMH, the luxury conglomerate that owns Dior and Sephora, invested in Versed, an Ordinary-like skin intendance brand sold at Target. At the terminate of January, the New York Times published a story titled "The $20 Luxury Face up Cream." The Ordinary is mentioned, but merely at the very end, as office of a group of many. None of this has stopped the company from its goals of standing to upend the beauty industry.

That the company is thriving is a testament to Nicola's perseverance and the loyalty she's inspired both within the company and in exterior entities similar Estée Lauder and the brand'south many new retail partners. The fashion she carries herself has inverse a bit since we concluding spoke in 2018. She walks with more confidence. She knows she'due south in charge.

Later Brandon fired her, she gave an interview to Elle in which she was unwavering in her dedication to the company and its founder, to the extent that the writer compared the interaction to talking to someone "rescued from a cult." Current employees rave about Nicola likewise, but the tone is unlike. They limited relief that she is there. There's a genuine warmth.

"I was at the point where I couldn't take it anymore, and she was my saving grace," says Mira the retail director, who was one of Deciem's original employees. "She was the just person who had the capability to navigate the tempest and really go along those potent values."

Every single person I talk to speaks about her in superlatives: "wonderful," "extremely at-home," "superhuman." It'southward genuine, and something that is impossible non to feel when y'all encounter her. You want to hug her.

The first thing Nicola did when she came dorsum after Brandon was removed but before he died was to implement employee perks like the power to piece of work from home, days off for birthdays, and free lunches. "We wanted to bear witness beloved dorsum to the team that showed us loyalty and commitment during the difficult times," she says. During the coronavirus closures, store employees are being paid and corporate employees are working from domicile.

At present there is a real 60 minutes team and a mental health program called "Hugs," then named for Brandon'southward email sign-off. Deciem plans to launch a podcast series this leap exploring mental health, because the team notwithstanding wants to sympathise what happened to Brandon as function of its "healing journey." They plan to donate $100,000 to the mental health charity of pick for each expert they have speak on the podcast. They hope to practice 10 episodes.

I ask Nicola what she thinks Brandon would make of this new iteration of Deciem, which is incomparably corporate and well-run, and also prosperous.

"I call back he'd be proud that we've retained a culture where the passion, the energy, the ideas, the ownership, the love is all still there. But nosotros've fostered information technology in a manner that can exist sustainable and that is welcoming to new people and new talent," she says.

"When I look at how this year started, the everyman of the depression in the worst possible circumstances and I look at how we're ending, with record-breaking months ..." she trails off, and smiles to herself.

I didn't think I would write this story. It wasn't until Brandon's decease that I realized the toll reporting on his turn down and its issue on his company and employees took on me. I was supremely wearied and terribly pitiful. I stopped following the make while it rebounded and connected to brand waves in the industry. I didn't really desire to talk nearly it or him anymore.

My first career was equally a nurse practitioner with a specialty in pediatric oncology, taking care of the sickest of kids. To practise that chore, you demand a bit of a callus over your emotions or you can't be effective in your piece of work; toward the end, I was showing up crying every twenty-four hour period. Reporting requires a non dissimilar distance. Y'all tin can't get attached to your sources. You're at that place to tell stories, non be a office of them. But stories — fifty-fifty ones about businesses — are ultimately well-nigh people, and sometimes those people are in pain. It can be tough to reconcile.

Ultimately, I couldn't stay away from Deciem. I needed to sympathize more than near Brandon, and I did admire what he had built. I started poking around into his early business dealings again but couldn't put together a comprehensive story, at to the lowest degree not i anyone would corroborate. I wondered how everyone at the visitor was holding up. I began seeing headlines that the brand was returning to Sephora. Positive profiles of Nicola appeared. I wanted to finally run into the Deciem headquarters, to which Brandon had invited me many times. I wanted closure.

During my trip to the new offices, I kept expecting Brandon to come bounding downwardly the staircase. My visit was hard-won, a product of 6 months of conversations with the company. Deciem is less transparent than it used to exist, but information technology's besides more resilient. It's no longer "abnormal," as Brandon would fondly say. It's the new normal.
