The ME+ID Story

Founders

Pam Plotkin: former attorney, current Brent Burns (San Jose Sharks) fangirl, avid walker

Patrice Rogers: former middle school principal, life-long guitar aficionado

The founders of ME+ID became fast friends when Pam’s children attended the school where Patrice was Principal. They worked together for 3 ½ years while the latter served as Vice President of Middle School for the PTA. Once her term expired, the two knew they wanted to find a way to join forces for a new project. ME+ID is the dream collaboration that followed.

What We Do

The Mission: To make the world a friendlier place.

The Medium: Beautifully designed apparel and accessories focused on individual passions.

ME+ID creations aren’t just meant to be a fashion statement. Instead, they’ve been created specifically to encourage people to connect with one another in the real world. Each shirt proudly shares your passion and invites others to do the same. It’s a conversation starter that leads to friendships, professional relationships, and even just the occasional interesting chat with a passing stranger.

How We Got from There to Here

It’s 2016 Pam and her family have an unexpected five-hour-delay at the Vancouver airport. With batteries running low on the electronics, will our bedraggled heroes be forced to (gasp!) interact with the people around them?!

Actually, Pam found herself curious about her fellow travelers. That curiosity was thwarted by the inevitable awkwardness that comes from trying to strike up a conversation with a stranger. After all, nobody wants to be the weirdo at the airport.

That’s when fortune smiled, and she caught sight of someone wearing a t-shirt advertising a hotel on the opposite side of the country. It just so happened to be one where she had stayed in the past. With that small connection she was able to confidently approach the man and start a totally interesting conversation—all without ever once coming across as a creeper.

During the flight home, she turned this encounter over in her mind. His shirt had alerted her to their common interest and emboldened her to make a real-life connection with someone new. In an age of social media, this IRL experience was refreshing. By the time the plane landed, she had come to feel that this little nudge was something that could make a difference. Fortunately, Patrice agreed.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1181″ img_size=”250×60″][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”team”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][vc_custom_heading text=”MEET OUR TEAM” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:44px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:44px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR YOUR PROJECT” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:20px|text_align:center|color:%23d7df21|line_height:24px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1485270531028{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1485270540813{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1186″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”Pam Plotkin” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:26px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1504201400627{padding-top: 15px !important;}” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwhatsyourthingtees.com%2Fpam-plotkin%2F||target:%20_blank|”][vc_custom_heading text=”Co-Founder and CEO of ME+ID” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:18px|text_align:center|color:%23d7df21|line_height:20px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1185″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”Patrice Rogers” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:26px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1518629140963{padding-top: 15px !important;}” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwhatsyourthingtees.com%2Fpatrice-rogers%2F|||”][vc_custom_heading text=”Co-Founder and COO of ME+ID” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:18px|text_align:center|color:%23d7df21|line_height:20px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1485270549758{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1485270531028{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1485270540813{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1364″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”Sally Shaw” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:26px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1518629194852{padding-top: 15px !important;}” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwhatsyourthingtees.com%2Fsally-shaw%2F|||”][vc_custom_heading text=”Director of Sales Analytics” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:18px|text_align:center|color:%23d7df21|line_height:20px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”1363″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center”][vc_custom_heading text=”Adam Plotkin , MD” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:26px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1518629219919{padding-top: 15px !important;}” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwhatsyourthingtees.com%2Fadam-plotkin%2F|||”][vc_custom_heading text=”Director of Business Development” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:18px|text_align:center|color:%23d7df21|line_height:20px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1485270549758{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][vc_custom_heading text=”” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:50|text_align:center|color:%23898989″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
