A retrospective

2022

and just like that,

2022 is a scene in our rear view mirror. Before this wildly unique year fades into the distant blue, we offer our deepest gratitude to our clients, partners, team, and community for giving us the opportunity to do the work we love.

January

This year, we: asked challenging questions. Wrote our own manifesto. Pondered, sketched, made more coffee. Created color palettes, hand selected papers, started over a thousand times and proofread everything.

We developed names for businesses, communities, hotels, restaurants, and shops. Crafted brand identities, brochures, and brand stories. Built websites and animation. Hand drew illustrations. Directed photo and video shoots, signage and interior design installations.

February

Along the way, we also ran marathons* (OK, just Adam), adventured and explored, raised money and awareness for youth art programs, grew our families and team, and aimed to keep our minds and hearts open to life, work, and existence in all of its beautiful complexity.
