The Making of the Paper Flowers

As the lead flower harvester for the “florists” at They’re Beautiful!, I thought I’d share with you how the flowers were made.
To get some basic understanding of what it’s like to be a florist, I spent half a day job-shadowing Nisha Kelem, owner of Seattle’s Fleurish. We met early one weekday at the wholesale flower [...]

“Let it Out” Super Quick Redesign

Last week Hillel shared some thoughts on Let it Out, a brand experience sponsored by Kleenex. The TV spots do a bang up job in telling really engaging stories about the most emotional and important events in peoples’ lives. The message is clear and meaningful.

Play it again SAM

This past weekend was the 35-hour marathon opening of the Seattle Art Museum expansion. Though, I have to say that calling it an “expansion” is really an understatement.
