Sometimes what we do is difficult to categorize. This section of the portfolio
demonstrates the result of some special projects, often done in
collaboration with other creative talents, that have stretched us beyond
our familiar range of experience.
The Dalai Lama Foundation
We had the unique opportunity to work in collaboration with renowned
lettering artist Georgia Deaver, in the creation of a trademark for
The Dalai Lama Foundation, a global non-profit organization devoted
to ethics and peace in the world.
shardArtist
In collaboration with emerging mosaic artist, Cate Thomassen, we created her “shardArtist” identity, and integrated that look into a blog site design and company collateral.
Shifters
In collaboration with Theron Magic, we co-created an original deck of playing cards targeted to professional magicians and collectors – including the Shifters ambigram logo design – a calligraphic design that incorporates two different readings into the selfsame set of curves. Original illustrations of the Joker and Ace are by Canadian artist Curt Shoultz.
Swerl
We created an identity and retail packaging for a unique product – a line of aerating glassware invented and manufactured by Mike Dikas.

Philips

The Beat Museum
Branding and transit signage for a mobile museum of artifacts from the beat generation. This was a project drawn from a passion for the ground-breaking creativity of a not-so-distant time in our cultural history. The Beat Museum now has permanent headquarters in North Beach, San Francisco.
