Team
The founding team
We are six young people, full of love for the world and the individual beauty of people.
Zippora Marti launched thoughts of september in the fall of 2018, and the team gradually formed until we founded seasons stories GmbH together in January 2021. Since then, Stefanie, Anna, Erica and Mathilda have joined our team!
