here’s to the understated! We just got our stationery system in hot off the kluge, and wow! We are beyond excited about how everything turned out. We have the studio name along with our personal contact information pressed into the front of the card with a super deep blind emboss. This is paired with our address simply printed in a cool grey on the back with a little place for a “note”…people always write on your business card anyway so we gave them a place to do it this time. On the press check, we kept hitting the sheet harder and harder until we started to break on through and then dialed it back juuuuust a hair. That way you get as much credit for the emboss as possible. The way that the business cards play with the light is fascinating.
See below for more details of our stationery.

sharpen your pencils… We try hard to continue educating ourselves daily but remember the days in school when you could do ANYTHING? Honestly, at the studio we are lucky and feel extremely fortunate to have trusting clients that allow and want us operate in an experimental, learning zone as professionals. We love to try new things and one of our favorite sayings from a vendor is “I’ve never done that before…let me get back to you“. Looking at student work is a little like that moment. Incredibly fun and inspiring to visualize without boundaries, budgets and just think via pure design love.

all that glitters is gold… We just finished the website for E. Allison Jewelry. Her pieces have a restrained simplicity – while staying incredibly human and warm. She uses 14-k gold, semi-precious stones and vintage milagros (delicate metal prayer charms found in New Mexico) to complete these unique pieces. They are designed to be worn layered and casually.
