✨ New Work! – Full brand and web design for architectural and product design studio Groth.studio - I worked with Michael Groth to design my retail store Corners, and so of course was excited to help him refresh his studio brand. Very fun collaborating with him as always.

✨🤖 New Work – A visual identity for Antioch; a next-gen robotics simulation platform. Pared-back type gives way to textural collages that explore testing environments and fidelity. I built an app to generate and distort the core mesh component, and built the visuals from there.

Just got my latest batch of ceramics back from the kiln. I normally do wheel based pieces but this was my first time doing hand-builds, was really fun. And is much more practical to do at home/outside the studio.

While I’m not surprised that Georgia O’Keefe had good taste when it came to her houses… god damnnnn…

Oh no. I think I have fallen for this Georg Jensen tea kettle. And yes it is as cheap as it looks.

Fun interview here with the PlayLab guys. They were in my orbit when they were in NY, so cool to see them evolve the studio over the (20) years and produce such incredible experiential work.

Damn yeah that’s super slick! The rest of the house has a bit more going on with blue stone etc so trying to keep things faithful to the original as much as possible!

This book is wonderful for many reasons.

A snowstorm knocked my power out last night, but the store still has power so just making my morning smoothie here instead; although it somehow feels spiritually wrong firing up the vitamix in the middle of the store.

I’ve been working with my local chamber of commerce to develop a sweatshirt to sell as a fundraiser to renovate the local town signage, most in disrepair. I commissioned artist Pablo Delcan for the artwork, and ‘Signs of Life’ was born.

An artist friend of mine makes her own foraged ink, and I gave her a load of black walnuts from my yard and she just dropped back a bottle of ink! She’s going to host an ink making workshop at Corners next month too, will be so fun. (The brown in the art below uses my walnuts mixed with iron!)
