We're just loving the branding and remodel of the new @haywoodfamilyeye location in Hazelwood. Just spent a little time at their @haywoodchamber ribbon cutting this morning with a tasty treat from @daylightdonuts. Great way to start the day.

We're wrapping up some @connectionkits for this client's upcoming workshop. Although we launched Connection Kits as a service for virtual events earlier on in the pandemic, we're excited to be designing and producing these kits for an in person workshop happening soon.

No spoilers yet. We'll share more after the event. For now, here's a sticker.

We decided to go geometric for this year's #aigaavlpumpkindesign contest. Always a fun time, to slice and dice a decorative harvest gourd.

Today is a test pack day for some kits in the works for an upcoming data workshop for @transitncatt.

We do a test pack and send a video to clients before packing them all up and shipping them all out.

This has been a super fun project where we collaborated with the client and their facilitators to design some hands on analog gamification. We styled the design of things with a little bit of retro futurism.

Here you see some persona cards being sorted together that will be one of the workshop activity.

Morning meditation to offset the anger and frustration that getting the kids ready and out the door stirs up in me. I'm noticing the square projection on this leaf juxtaposing the wild and imposed order.

Deep breathing.

This place is so. well. done.

The design is top notch and no detail was overlooked. I can see spending a lot of time coming back here.

This blank canvas of a space is about to be designed into a new branded environment. This space is where our client @embracethespacebetween will use transformational art to guide women on the path to liberation. Located at @radviewavl.

Testing tech for a hybrid event tomorrow that we're helping with. Two projectors, one for the speaker presentation and one to bring the zoomies into the experience with the roomies. @centerforcraft has some awesome tech toys like the 360 degree Owl Pro cameras an amazing space to make it happen for @craftyourcommerce.

A while back we had the good fortune to work on so

A while back we had the good fortune to work on some new illustration elements for Wands for Wildlife. @wandsforwildlife is a nonprofit that is inspiring people to help wildlife and the environment through re-purposing discarded mascara wands. The organization engages people in ways to support wildlife caregivers and encourages greater mindfulness of the impact from human activities, including the use of plastics, on the environment.⁠
⁠
John had been part of a team that worked with W4W during a past Make a Mark event. We had come up with three characters to represent both the different species they serve and the different areas of service. I had contributed some line art illustrations of each as part of that project. ⁠
⁠
They came back this year and asked us to design some new illustrations of these characters along with some habitat elements. ⁠
⁠
This is a provided scene that incorporates all of the individual elements into a style sheet. We can't wait to see how their team rolls these elements out in the coming months.⁠

Illustration is one of our core specialties along with experience design and branding.
