Two years ago on this exact day we presented a brand that changed our studio forever. Shout out to Henry Modisett & Phi Hoang for trusting the vision on round one. I've seen very few people roll out a brand as fast as them. Thanks for giving us a shot. <3

Weird request here but where are we finding 80's script type like this these days? Dafont? Do I have to paint it by hand?

Uh oh they are giving me a microphone again! I'm so excited to talk about a new project that we've been working on for awhile now. The case study is already 20-mins long so I know no one is actually going to read it. No worries—I'll just walk you through it live!! Link to tickets in thread below.

Came into the office this weekend to build a new standing desk for Tully. Left with an admiration for how far we’ve come. Hyped on this every day.

Some days I think to myself, why am I doing my life on hard mode? Stressed out all the time. Pushing myself to be better every day. When instead I could just make a tee shirt that says “my bestie is messy” and make like $3M off of that.

I'm so so excited that these new cards got finished just in time for @figma's Config!! I wanted to have cards that showed the entire teams different personalities so we got a beveled, foiled letterpressed fronts & then blank backs so everyone could stamp on their own custom designs.

✨ Meet our newest S&D designer Tully Ryan ✨ Tully actually joined us about a year ago as a contractor & then impressed us so much with his skill & amazing attitude that we knew he would be an incredible addition to our extremely tight-knit team. Also a great bowler.

In hindsight maybe eating oysters from a mason jar that had been sitting on the table for an undisclosed amount of time was a bad idea.

🤠 Yeehaw 🤠 Just presented R1 of a sprint-ish thing for a hotel in West Yellowstone. Full team went absolutely wild again. Turns out we love hotel projects. Here's the figma file so you can see the whole thing.

Having taste sucks. Like what do you mean I’m obsessed with this one of a kind vintage Moroccan rug that is so expensive you have to call someone to get the price.

Sometimes we make goofy things too. Made this mascot for an AI company that sadly got killed. I'm always blown away with all the expressions you can make just with mouth position or pupil placement. Maybe in a past life I just made cartoons??
