This summer, we set out to build something simple, intentional, and useful: a custom flower stand designed to share our seasonal bloom abundance with the neighborhood. 🌸
As part of an ongoing effort to share more of our studio-initiated work, this project was born from a desire to combine design, space, and community connection. Using a mix of modular crates, warm earthy tones, vibrant sawhorses, and playful accents.
Building objects and spaces simply for the joy of creating and connecting is at the heart of our studio ethos. Here’s to more tactile projects, hands on experiments, and sharing what we make! 🛠️

For the tenth anniversary of Public Coast Brewing Co. we were tasked with retooling the can packaging system. Adding a new dimension to the already playful design scheme. The final design fell out of a poster series and illustration celebrating the 10th anniversary that we were lucky enough to bring Bethany Ng Illustration into to the process of. Breathing new life into Public Coast for the next decade. Here’s to it!

Got around to photographing our work for one of the most fun and creative projects we’ve had the pleasure of working on.

We’ve been obsessed with 1-bit design lately. Limited inputs. Binary logic. Patterns that emerge from contrast and constraint. The perfect system for a rider like Greg Van Avermaet.

We built a custom generative system inspired by Conway’s Game of Life, a modular pattern machine that let Greg’s logo evolve through logic and repetition.

Each glyph could be rearranged, multiplied, and set in motion. That modularity became the engine behind the design.

Huge thanks to for commissioning us to make something for a true legend of the sport.

You start a creative business, thinking you’re in the driver’s seat—making decisions, taking risks, navigating the journey. But then, over time, you realize: maybe you’re not the ones driving anymore.

Our son, Anders, has been with us since the beginning, watching and learning. Now, we’re the ones watching him. He’s creative directing and designing branding for high school clubs, including the Art Club, and he’s a member of Youth Leadership Council. You can even spot him in the second image at a City Hall meeting, collaborating with city leaders—including his mentor, Mayor Joe Buck.

And as much as we’re thrilled to be in the back seat for his ride, we’re still here for hire—working with companies big and small, on projects both large and sometimes hard to describe. After 10 years in business, we’ve added new skills, offering social, verbal, and film content to help shape your brand for today’s world.

Through all the twists and turns, one thing has stayed the same: Anders has been in the passenger seat with us, every mile of the way. 🧡

We are thrilled to share our latest project with you! Our team had the incredible opportunity to rebrand the iconic Stephanie Inn in Cannon Beach, Oregon. From the new logo for the inn to rebranding their renowned restaurant and spa, we are proud of the work we have done to bring a fresh new look to this beloved destination. We also had the pleasure of designing these custom desk caddies, signage, and wayfinding for the property. 
Crafted from walnut reclaimed from the property, these desk caddies were designed to not only be functional but also to share some history of the storied inn. Our custom signage and wayfinding designs were carefully crafted to guide guests seamlessly throughout the property while maintaining the new brand aesthetic.
 We are delighted to have been a part of this exciting project and can't wait for visitors to experience the Stephanie Inn's new brand. Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to book your stay at the Stephanie Inn to see the transformation for yourself!
