Happy Monday, everyone! We had an awesome weekend here in Portland. It was infinitely better because of two amazing craft & artisan shows in town (more on that in a bit). We were admittedly a little lazy, and spent way too much time laughing with friends … is that even possible? We wanted to drop […]

It should be no surprise that we love color ’round these parts. I think inspiring graphic design is equal parts type, layout, and color. When Pantone announced their 2012 color of the year, I was in love. The color of the year comes with a lovely name, too: Tangerine Tango. I’m not always the biggest […]

If you’ve followed our work for some time, you already know we have quite the liking for hand-written correspondance. When we moved into our new apartment earlier this month, we knew we wanted a way to customize our outgoing mail to reflect our personalities … That’s when our custom return address stamp was dreamt up. Not only […]

I’m dropping in today to share a design board for a brand identity project we’re working on right now with the amazing Jessica Norman. Jessica is based in Chicago, Illinois. I’m so happy I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know her in person over the years. We actually worked together back in 2010 when Jessica […]

Branding. It’s a word you’ve more-than-likely heard, especially if you’re in the creative industry. Chances are, you’ve heard it used wrong. I admit, I’m guilty of throwing this word around in a casual manner when I’m not thinking about it, but I’m currently on a mission to use it the proper way! Maybe I need […]

Happy Wednesday … This is me waving to you from the pile of boxes that used to be my home office. Since we spoke last … we finally sold the house. It’s all official. Next Friday, we’ll be signing the paperwork, and we’ll be home-free. Time for Oregon, baby! But, onto the important part of […]

Recently, I had the opportunity to do some branding for a Ball State University Master’s thesis project. The project was centered around reclaimed material, and reusing it in a new, usable space. The project was named: SHED. The space was a small-scale residential shed, workspace. The name SHED is a reflection of the actual building, […]

I am happy to announce that my husband will be graduating with a master’s degree in architecture in a few weeks. We’ve been working together to design his modern graduation announcements that we’ll be sending out to family & friends. Being an architect, he loves clean, modern design. I decided on this ribbon banner as […]

Preview of Ben + Kat’s info-graphic wedding invites. We can’t wait to share the rest.

My heart does a little pitter patter every time I see Hilda Grahnat’s name pop up on my Google reader. Her photos are beautiful and complex, but so simplistic and clean. Her composition makes me want to be a better photographer, and her work definitely inspires me to shoot for myself more often … A reminder […]
