Good enough is not good enough for us

Hey folks! I’m Daniel - thanks for popping over here for a quick read!

I’m so excited to get this Survey story rolling. After months of planning, pushing, and building, we’re ready to kick off 2026 with an exciting adventure!

A little backstory on me: I earned my degree in commercial photography from Randolph Community College in North Carolina back in 2011. I continued working in NC with a furniture-focused creative studio for a year before moving to Nashville. Here in Nashville, I’ve spent over a decade working as a lighting assistant, lighting director, and photographer. Building relationships and telling stories here has taught me a lot, both good and bad. Most importantly, it gave me the roadmap for how I want to build Survey, and I knew Meg was the person I wanted to help me build it.

Meg and I knew that if we were going to build a company, it had to be different from everything else. We had seen too many examples of what we didn’t want to be, so we put our stakes in the ground with the intentionality of being different.

Building community. Relationships. Having fun. Eliminating toxic environments. Putting the right people in the right seats. Sharing life-changing stories. Being trustworthy.

Our company is built on these foundational pieces (and more), and they will make Survey synonymous with integrity. We’re here to lift each other up—our team, our clients, and our communities. Our goal isn’t to be the biggest, but to be the best: the best to work for and the best to work with.

“Good enough is not good enough” has become our unofficial motto.

We’re thankful you’re here, and we can’t wait to share our story with you as it grows.
