Sneak peek of the final submark for our brilliant interior design client .abode - a home collection of statement essentials inspired by the beauty of the golden state. Full brand reveal coming soon!

We worked closely with Stefani last year to bring about this new shift, and are honored to have gotten the chance to collaborate with such a kind and gifted artist.

A look at the original sketch - parallels between the Arts & Craft movement, furniture forms, and moonlighting as an abstracted monogram.

Burying the hatchet - of my disquiet towards the chasm between burnout and inspiration, and my lack thereof re the latter…

Enter studio edit, an attempt towards actual balance, or at the very least, beauty. Amidst in/out lists, with the “in’s” feeling out of reach and a melancholy shrouding an otherwise renewed season.

This comes with a serious caveat of gratitude for the art and partnerships fostered last year - deep thanks to our clients whom we hold so dear, and whom we honor so~

Ushering in less IG noise, new studio help (phew), and the few things that don’t make me wanna run for the hills:

The gentleman playing Gershwin on a thrift store piano yesterday, so unbridled, so stunningly. And the that followed in the form of vintage woven tags. And, at the risk of sounding twee, lyrics from the 1993 rendition of Much Ado About nothing I watched last night, sparking a smidge of joy for even the most curmudgeonly of (ahem) “us” - “Then sigh not so, but let them go, and be you blithe and bonny, converting all your sounds of woe into hey, nonny, nonny.”

In the spirit of sharing more, and being swallowed less, here’s to getting kicked in the butt less in 2023 - sayonara ’22!

Custom lettering for the good folks

Maddy and Kyle founded Yewo in the hopes of connecting maker to consumer through genuinely made jewelry and home goods. Their community and workshop in Northern Malawi, Africa fuses community and beauty in the best way - it was an honor to work with this team to bring their new vision to life 💫

Introducing the new __ For Those Entwined~

Custom lettering evoking the expansion and depth with which imagery is captured by this thoughtful artist. Kelly’s journalistic, editorial approach and mix of film+digital formats reflect moments in a uniquely tactile, emotive way.

So grateful to have been entrusted with her story, and given faith to visualize it - a joy to usher her new look into the world!
