In 2012, at the age of 25, Quinn & Jonathon left California to start a social venture in Central America called Life Out of the Box. With Life Out of the Box they work with local artisans in developing countries to create handmade products, and for every product sold they give a child in need school supplies. The customers even get to see the exact child they’ve helped after a purchase has been made through the Life Out of the Box website.
