In 2009, a group of families with children with autism collaborated with professionals and civic leaders to found a non-profit organization with a vision: to design and build a residential community for adults with autism and other developmental disabilities unlike anything available today. Since opening our doors in January 2013, we have grown, evolved and remain dedicated to providing a model for the nation’s families, who are struggling with the lack of housing options for their adult children. Our community leverages and optimizes the insights and knowledge gained through autism research while embracing sustainable design and best practices. We have created a residential environment that reflects the beauty and spirit of the surrounding area while utilizing supported living services in close collaboration with the North Bay Regional Center. Created as a pilot community, and now operational for over 10 years, Sweetwater Spectrum is one model for community-based housing that works.

In January of 2006 White Rice Advertising & PR was born, occupying the second-floor loft of an 1860s woolen mill in the Historic District of downtown Cedarburg, Wisconsin. It wasn’t until late 2015 that the dynamic duo moved to its current digs in Germantown where they customized the work space to fit the fun that it was built to contain. Since opening, White Rice has helped businesses from all over navigate and succeed in some pretty rocky economic times. Through all that, Terri and Cori have maintained their philosophy that no matter how big or small the business or idea, White Rice will take the call and do what we can to help. That simple idea has helped some pretty great clients do some pretty great work. Some businesses like to have a marketing partner that they can stop in and see. So if whether it’s Germantown, Menomonee Falls, Milwaukee, Mequon or Madison, we relish the chance to be your advertising partner that always feels next door.
