Meghan expressed gratitude for the'very special company's' and its "thoughtful approach to design' in a testimonial shared on the Article website. The Duchess wrote: "I have been working with Ryan and the amazing team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their ingenuity, and their thoughtful approach to planning as well as the user experience.' They're not just designers; they're designers, not necessarily designers; they're designers, editors who help you develop your ideas into visual identities.' They're a special company. Plus, they're Canadian, so I'm a fan.' In addition to the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions' websites, the firm was also responsible for Meghan's now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig. In addition, the article's readers include NBA singer Lauryn Hill, fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg, and Harry's environmental tourism firm Travalyst.
