I am in love with seeds. The idea. The potential. The possibilities locked in such a concise space. The growth. The wonder. The mystery.

My newest passion is to make my yard as edible as possible. I have ordered heirloom seeds, rooted cuttings, and grafted trees. I have turned large areas of the yard into vegetable bed and trellised fences. I spend my evenings reading vegetable seed packets, taking notes as to which to soak and when to plant. It is calming as well as exciting to tune into mother nature’s rhythms.

Every design idea starts with such a seed.

Wow… what a year. When trying to craft this year’s holiday card, we felt it was challenging to find the right words.

At the beginning of a project, we take the time to get to know the client and want to clearly understand their communication need/s (through conversation or possibly a follow-up Red questionnaire about their design objectives/current brand/competitors). We want to understand the client’s vision, aesthetic preferences and hopes for the design—always bearing in mind the target audience (and how best to reach them).
