New work for Laurel, A Collective - We were asked to design the overall footprint of the collective (where it sits in Charleston) along with some sketches of the architectural elements set to adorn this special building. These specific architectural elements (columns, cornices, lanterns, wrought iron gates, decorative wreaths etc) are all being hand crafted by the students at the American College of the Building Arts with the guidance from the brilliant thought leader and architect behind the project, Charles Sottile. More to on this project soon but it has been such a pleasure seeing a building come to life with such thoughtful craftsmanship behind it. A departure from the typical urban sprawl architecture we’ve been seeing lately. Charleston deserves more of this.

Around the studio lately….

Been playing with the sun and how it transforms some@of my letterpress papers. Trying to incorporate that in some new work.

Overprints on the press are always my favorite.

When an old wedding client needs a letterpress invite/design for his 50th bday party celebration in Greece, you of course oblige…

Envelopes for him….

From the letterpress layers collection… a handful left.

One of my favorite quotes from a postcard pack I designed…

Samples off to potential large retailer…

Last few of our L O N G W A Y collaboration. Snag on the site.

Numbered and ready. Only three left I think.

New flag sample colors!

An ode to Modern Home Furniture & Decor

I know I’ve kept our home under wraps (with the hopes of getting it featured in the very near future) but today I am sharing some timeless pieces that I found at Hausful (a beautiful shop local here in Charleston) that anchor our home perfectly. Every piece is a pure expression of art and the craftsmanship of each piece is unmatched. Pieces that I know will be in our lives forever and for that I am immensely grateful…

The patterns for all our map prints are doodles I’ve made over the years. Each one is hand drawn and then scanned in one by one and placed strategically on each letterpressed print to create the visual harmony they’re all known for.

Two commissioned pieces by for a clients home she recently completed. These are letter-pressed using 6 separately designed plates all printed at different pressures on the press to produce a layering effect with the hand mixed green ink. Lots of registration which means moving the plate all around the bed of the press by hand to find what feels and looks best (slide 4 shows all of that and the two pieces that we landed on at the end)

I made this simple stationery for a few of my dear friends for a craft get together and forgot to share with you all here. Firm believer lately in it’s the little things that seem to matter the most and have come to the conclusion that simple stationery is the key to my heart and rules the world.

Crested Butte you were such a beauty. We were fortunate enough to be caught in the first major snowfall out west this past week and man, in it did not disappoint! So grateful we hit it just right with the best humans along for the ride 💫🤍

As I complete another year around the sun, I’ve been feeling this so hard lately. I find joy in the people I love, the work I do (lots of branding to share over soon) the land we live on and my overall desire to be outside in nature. For me it’s putting my phone down (sometimes for days on the weekends, friends can attest) and connecting deeply to what brings me the most joy. Tao into it 🤍💫
