What Does it Mean to be “Ducked”?
The “You’ve Been Ducked” trend has become a fun and unifying tradition within the Jeep community. Owners leave small rubber ducks on other Jeeps they spot in parking lots, at events, or even while traveling. Each duck usually comes with a little tag or note of encouragement, sparking joy and creating an instant sense of camaraderie between strangers. What started as a simple act of kindness has grown into a global movement of positivity, where Jeep owners celebrate each other’s vehicles while spreading smiles and goodwill.
At Sedgewick + Ferweda Architects, this message of connection and community resonates deeply. Our Principal in Charge, Jeffrey Ferweda, AIA, is a proud Jeep owner who has embraced this mission and shared it with our team. Inspired by the spirit behind “You’ve Been Ducked,” we strive to bring that same sense of joy and togetherness into our work, whether it’s collaborating with clients on a new project or giving back through community service. Just as the Jeep community uses a small gesture to build meaningful connections, we see our architectural work as a way to extend kindness, foster relationships, and spread positivity throughout the communities we serve.
