A Virtual Walkthrough of our studio!

Here is a virtual look at our studio since we weren't able to cut out walls from our actual studio.

This is our main entrance where you can see models to help visualize the size of 
this loft.


This is our client meet and greet. We discuss business, make drinks, and go over
ideas that range from interior design to photography to logo/branding.


This is a look at our bathroom. The artwork that we currently have
up in our current bathroom isn't on the walls but they are stunning prints 
by Ray Caesar. 


Upstairs is where we get our hands dirty and our eyes strained
from working on long projects. Our Love Sac's were custom made with 
back support so that we aren't in pain every time we try and get up. We
also have really great desk chairs that aren't pictured in this photo. 
The Love Sacs were found to be wonderful for laptop usage, not so much with
desktops.


This is another look at our space we have for client meetings.
I wanted to show our custom accordion-style camera piece in the 
corner by our sofa as well as our vintage fridge and table to the left of the 
fridge. That table is used for showcasing larger projects and showing 3D models
of interior spaces to clients. It moves easily and we couldn't be happier with 
it.

We would love for you to come and visit us. Our studio is located in Wicker Park.

Possibly the best gift ever!


The Facebank!

Please watch as these faces eat your money =D

Give the gift of nerdiness!



I saw this on my facebook this morning. Thank you Photoshop for telling me about these awesome magnets! 

As if staring at the computer screen wasn't enough, now you can stare at the lovely photoshop tools on your fridge as they can hold up your menus, bills, photos... etc.

Oh and I found these really great scarves and coasters for the typography lover!

Death Cab way back when

So I found one of my favorite songs by Death Cab before they exploded into what they are today.
The song is "Title Track" off of their We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes album. 
The performance is at the Kirkland Senior Home on March 11, 2000 right before the album released on March 21, 2000.
