We experiment
with photography.
The kind of images that draw you closer, make you wonder, and inspire action. From concept development to photo shoot production.

We break hearts
with disco balls.
For Verizon and iHeart Radio, we developed a broken heart themed photo booth, made from 26 disco balls for Mark Ronson’s Seattle performance.

We make technology
feel like art.
Seattle’s premiere mall installed a new 23-foot digital display and we were invited to curate three local artists. We then brought their artwork to life through motion.

feel at home.
Finding the perfect home rental can be hard. So we created an inviting and playful brand identity that ensures you feel welcome in any city.

We turn three dimensional places, into two.
How do you make Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market, even more iconic? We created a two-dimensional cartoon version with a live muralist on site.
Experiential | Client: Google
We make learning
feel like a game.
Just saying “professional development” makes us bored. So we approached employee sales training with a board game instead.
Publication Design | Client: Microsoft
We design for simplicity.
Inspired by the minimalism and Swiss design found within the new Windows interface, each page of the product guide was as principled as the product itself.
Brand Identity & Retail Design | Client: Homefront Ice Cream
We cover walls with
melted ice cream.
Our goal for this retail design was to create a destination that was as fun as ice cream itself. A cotton candy dream world, irresistible to share.
