Cheers to 21 Years!

We’re excited to celebrate 21 years of Originate being in the Tucson community! Over the past two decades, we’ve been privileged to serve our amazing community, helping build spaces that inspire creativity, comfort, and sustainability.

The number 21 holds special significance in numerology—symbolizing completeness and a fresh cycle of growth and expansion. It’s a powerful reminder of new beginnings, maturity, and embracing opportunities that lie ahead.

In Tarot, the 21st card is The World, a card representing fulfillment, wholeness, and achievement. Just like The World signifies the end of one journey and the start of another, we see this milestone as a beautiful chapter that opens new doors for growth and innovation.
The imagery of our 21st anniversary design is a tribute to both the symbolism of The World tarot card and the unique ecosystem that makes Tucson so special. By transforming the traditional World Turtle into a desert tortoise and a palo verde, we honor the resilience and interconnectedness of our desert environment.
The tortoise represents longevity and groundedness, while the palo verde supports life and growth, much like the community we’ve nurtured over the past 21 years. Together, they symbolize the balance and beauty of our local ecosystem—a perfect reflection of the values that drive Originate every day.

To all our clients, partners, and community members who have worked with us—thank you! Thank you for being part of Originate’s first 21 years, for sharing in the excitement of healthy and natural building materials. We are so happy to have gotten to know you and feel incredibly lucky to have you as part of our community.
